Finally, after weeks of these idiots bombarding my servers with Linux Firefox for unknown reasons I finally connected all the dots as SnapBot is apparently running from 3 data centers that I know about and all 3 have run both the SnapBot crawler and Firefox from the same IPs.
65.38.102.0/24 "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1"
38.98.19.0/24 "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1"
66.234.139.0/24 "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1"
You know what SnapBot was doing from these 3 locations?
Making goddamn screen shots of every fucking webpage, or trying to anyway, all 40K+ of them too!
Fuckers.
I know this for a fact as I found a picture of my error message about their site being banned with their IP number embedded in it from the 65.38.102.0/24 block and the others are already known Snap IPs.
Listen assholes, take a picture of the home page and leave it at that, you aren't getting 40K screenshots and anyone that thinks they are can blow that shit out their ass.
