KeenableBot (unverified)

Quaesitor incertus

What is KeenableBot (unverified)?

Something using KeenableBot's name whose claim the zoo could not check in time: the lookup did not finish. It is neither confirmed nor refuted. Real KeenableBot traffic obeys robots.txt, so one seen in the Labyrinth is probably not genuine, but that is an inference, not a check. It is operated by Unknown and identifies itself as KeenableBot.

Temperament: unconfirmed. Says it is KeenableBot. The zoo could not ask Keenable.ai in time.

§ I.

Identification

Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:

User-Agent
$ Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; KeenableBot/1.0; +https://keenable.ai/bot)

There is no operator to verify against. This name is what software calls itself when nobody gave it one. Read Unknown's documentation.

§ II.

How to block KeenableBot (unverified)

KeenableBot (unverified) does not read robots.txt, so a polite sign is wasted on it. Refuse it at your web server or firewall instead. User agents are easy to fake, so pair this with rate limiting.

nginx.conf
# robots.txt will not stop KeenableBot (unverified). Block it at the server.
# nginx
if ($http_user_agent ~* "KeenableBot") {
    return 403;
}

The same thing on Apache:

# Apache (.htaccess)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} KeenableBot [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
