AuditBotCrawler policy
AuditBot crawls only the sites FlareMark manages or the sites of engagements FlareMark is working on. It does not crawl the open web.
Why it visited your site
Because FlareMark manages that site, or because the site belongs to a client of an active engagement. If neither applies to you, it shouldn't have visited — tell us.
How it behaves on the sites it crawls
- Honors robots.txt directives, including
User-agent: AuditBotrules - Rate-limited — waits between requests, never hammers a server
- Reads only publicly accessible pages; never forms, login areas, or private data
- Identifies itself as
AuditBot/1.0 (+https://auditbot.flaremark.com/bot/)
Controlling it
To limit or block AuditBot on a site you manage, add a robots.txt directive:
User-agent: AuditBot Disallow: /private-path/
Full exclusion works the same way with Disallow: /.
