Identification
Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:
Dealright signs ArnorBot’s requests with Web Bot Auth, using the keys at https://dealright.ai/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory, and says to verify by signature rather than IP address. The zoo doesn't check these signatures yet, so visits are filed by their user agent. Read Dealright's documentation.
Dealright signs its requests, but the zoo doesn't check signatures yet, so every visit filed here is taken at its word for now.
How to block ArnorBot
Add these two lines to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. Well-behaved crawlers read it before they crawl, so the change applies from ArnorBot's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.
# Block ArnorBot from the whole site User-agent: ArnorBot Disallow: /
ArnorBot obeys robots.txt and slows down when a site returns 429 or 503.
Or let it visit but keep it away from part of the site:
# Let it in, but keep it out of one room User-agent: ArnorBot Allow: / Disallow: /members/
