I have noticed an increasing number of visits from a web bot called Twiceler (ID String: Mozilla/5.0 Twiceler-0.9 http://www.cuil.com/twiceler/robot.html). It's initial visits seem to come from IP:208.36.144.6 but I have also noticed it appearing from IP:38.99.44.101 et al.
I initialy thought it was a Hacker Bot as it seems to occasionaly cloak it's identity and claim to be the Google Bot. However the multiple IP address hopping and ID cloaking kind of became insignificant when my inbox started to become flooded with Hacker Alert emails from some of my PHP scripts who were reporting they were being probed with an assortment of invalid input parameters by this Bot.
In short this Twiceler Bot appears to behave like a Hacker Bot deliberately designed to probe websites and scripts for vunerabbilities. However looking at it's website it gives the impression of complete innocence... What on earth is going on???
Have any other ALUGers found their website being checked for vunerabilities by Twiceler?
Time for me to baracade the door and hide under the bed with tins of corned beef and bottled water???
