AdSonar spider / bot useragent string


For the first time today, I noticed a modified useragent string used by the AdSonar (Quigo) bot / spider. Previously it had nothing in the string to indicate that it was indeed a spider (eventhough I suspected it for a while already ) but just noticed today that the string now includes the name "AdSonar" inside it - see below...

AdSonar bot useragent:
Code:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; AdSonar Bot)

Just thought that the information may be of use to somebody someday.

Re: AdSonar spider / bot useragent string


User agents can easily be forged and shouldnt be deemed as a reliable way to determine the source of the request.
