I use Paul M's Track Guest Visits to monitor spiders.

And thanks for going into a little bit more detail on those for me

Could you give the user Alfa1 permission? I have an account at trac.

Some brainstorming:
An important factor in regards to bots being malicious or not, is if they respect robots.txt or not. If I want to block a bot, the first thing I do is disallow it in robots.txt
If after a week I still find it on my site (and therefore the bot has not respected robots.txt), then I blacklist the bot in BB.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to automatically blacklist bots that disrespect robots.txt ?

Does anyone (especially error10) know if the spiderlist.xml provided by Mosh is complete enough for the purposes of keeping an eye on malicious bots?
