@anyia AFAICT they don't and one has to explicitly 403 them using .htaccess or other means.

• Also #ClownFlare doesn't even throttle them, because they are a #RogueISP run by "FreezePeach" assholes…

In fact #ByteSpider aggressively circumvents blockings!

@anyia #ByteSpider, I guess?

Whether you follow that blocklist or how you use it is your decision.

• I just prefer to blackhole malicious traffic…

Also if anyone has a comprehensive list of IP ranges used [or rather abused] by #ByteDance for #ByteSpider [which does #DDoS sites and #ClownFlare as value-removing rentseekers don't do shit about it anyway!], let me know so I can add it to the stack of blocklists in my repo.

#ITsec #OpSec #ComSec #InfoSec #CloudFlare #bots #scrapers #crawlers

@jackyan Speaking of annoyances: #ClownFlare can't even properly protect against #DDoS even when it's blatant per #UserAgent (#ByteSpider) as had happened to #MattKC...

• I just didn't have the time and resources to add said scrapers to the scraper blocklist...

#CloudFlare

@khobochka guess why I maintain a #Scraper #blocklist?

• In fact I know multiple people and organizations that decide to basically redirect #ValueRemoving #Scrapers like #GPTbot, #ByteSpider (which literally #DDoS'd #MattKC because #ClownFlare are a criminally incompetent #RogueISP!) to #Hetzner's 10GB Speedtest file which can be found at http://hil-speed.hetzner.com/10GB.bin as an extra middlefinger!

#Cloudflare #hetznered #ByteDance #ChatGPT

@fuchsiii @lynn @LunaDragofelis also in case anyone needs to be convinced how much of a useless value-remover ClownFlare / CloudFlare are in "preventing DDoS attacks":

@MattKC had been DDoS'd by ByteDance's Crawler into downtime!
