For those keeping track, I'm now up to 1.3 million hits on my robot website in the last five days. Those came from over 800,000 unique IP addresses. That's a staggering number. If it keeps up at this rate it will hit over a million unique devices sometime tomorrow. This is a giant #botnet, right? Like, one of the biggest out there? I'm currently doing some mapping to ASNs, to see if there's patterns. Previous reports (user-agents and country distributions):

Analysis of botnet requests to the evilgeniusrobot websites

In the last three days, my tiny honeytrap robot has had *760,000* hits , nearly all unique URL paths, from *510,000* unique IP addresses and a wide range of user-agents. This doesn't appear to be malicious as far as I can tell - I think it's just crawling the site (which is effectively an infinite labyrinth) - although why anyone would use a #botnet for that is confusing to me. The site is handling it, for now, but the hit rate is increasing each day. Half a million devices.. yikes.
