  Interesting writeup, thanks! I thought maybe dropping connections with those user agents would be the best but idk. My sites have not been targeted yet fortunately.

    So far I haven’t seen any attempts to change their user agents. I’ve seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I’ve left them alone.

    I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I’ll eventually have to adapt my defenses.
