Many bots can be recognized with the       generation of 404 errors. Example:       https://x-bit.org/info/downloads/bots.jpg              Rational for request:       Bot's can somewhat takeover the web logs as they tend to be very aggressive       hitting quickly throughout day.       --- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 13 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
