User-Agent's food bowl
the bowl, as bots see itThe bowl is empty.
Identification
Its full user-agent string, exactly as it arrives at the gate:
There is no operator to verify against. This name is what software calls itself when nobody gave it one.
No operator stands behind this name, so there is nothing to check its visits against.
How to block User-Agent
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 User-Agent's next visit. Nothing else on your site needs to change.
# Block User-Agent from the whole site User-agent: User-Agent Disallow: /
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: User-Agent Allow: / Disallow: /members/

Where it comes from

Networks and countries come from the visitor's IP address, looked up in a local copy of the DB-IP database. The addresses themselves are never stored.

Questions site owners ask
Does User-Agent respect robots.txt?
Yes. In 21 requests observed here it has read robots.txt and never fetched a disallowed page.
Will blocking User-Agent hurt my search rankings?
No. Nothing respectable will miss it.
How often does User-Agent visit?
Here, about 1 requests a day over the last week. Visits to your site depend on its size, how often it changes, and how many links point to it.
