Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot

Many of those user-agents listed are often faked. Look up which ASN owns their IP. If I block most VPS providers most of the faked bots vanish. There are still some running from residential and phones using hijacked code (readers that are not really just readers but really multipurpose proxies). On that note, do not trust the linked source code but rather decompile the live code your phone is running and have AI analyze it.
gavinhking•36m ago
Yeah, that's exactly what these visits are: faked user agents that fail IP verification or Web Bot Auth. What's interesting is the surge across so many websites in the last week.
Bender•27m ago
There are many possibilities but one of them could be some new vuln was released and they are looking for it. That would require looking at the URL's they are requesting. Botters run their own purpose built campaigns. Do you also have a summary of URL's requested by unique counts?
pjc50•13m ago
Someone is always running mass vulnerability scans. That's a "water is wet" state of the Internet.
gavinhking•8m ago
Definitely, the point here though is there is a stat sig surge in the chart in the last week, across thousands of websites. At least a surge in this particular spoofing pattern.
yabones•12m ago
Every server with port 80/443 open has thousands of hits a day from random boxes looking for wordpress login pages. The only new thing is that they're pretending to be a different type of annoying bot. There's a new layer of sophistication and subterfuge, but it's the same junk traffic we've always dealt with.
gavinhking•4m ago
Another interesting thing here is the paths they're targeting, many are for newish AI coding tools
