meanpathbot

Author: M.Kraaijeveld (24 Sep 13 10:44am)

Have any other users spotted a robot going by the name of meanpathbot know of their entire CIDR blocks?

UA "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; meanpathbot/1.0; +http://www.meanpath.com/meanpathbot.html)"

I've discovered this bot is not paying attention to robots.txt and attempting to spider sites, I could like to get all their CIDR blocks so we can block them without relying on their user-agent

Thanks

198.27.66.38
198.27.66.79/82
198.27.82.149
198.27.82.182

Try banning this range
CIDR 198.27.64.0/18
(198.27.64.0 - 198.27.127.255) Montreal OVH Hosting Services
Note: We ban this hosting service as we see way too much bad activity from their IP ranges

i've also seen this annoying bot use these ip's recently..

192.99.201.184
192.99.16.173
192.99.39.77
192.99.39.73
192.99.39.74

i decided to redirect it (and many others) away from my website using wildcards.
