Disallow: /Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Block Sansec Security Monitor?
Not unless you already run your own scanning and want cleaner logs. Sansec Security Monitor checks websites for exposed vulnerabilities, and some scanning services report what they find to site owners for free. Almost none of the top websites we track have robots.txt rules for Sansec Security Monitor right now.
Does Sansec Security Monitor Respect Robots.txt?
Yes. Sansec Security Monitor is expected to honor robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the right first move. Automatic Robots.txt adds and maintains that rule for you, and Agent Analytics confirms Sansec Security Monitor actually honors it.
Does Sansec Security Monitor Access Private Content?
It probes for private content deliberately. Login pages, admin panels, and API endpoints are exactly what Sansec Security Monitor tests, because exposed ones are what it exists to find. Probing is not the same as getting in, but expect requests to sensitive paths in your logs.
Why Is Sansec Security Monitor Visiting My Website?
Sansec Security Monitor is scanning your site for vulnerabilities, either as part of a sweep across the whole internet or because someone requested an assessment of your domain. Recurring visits usually mean a monitoring service has you on its list.
How Can I Tell if Sansec Security Monitor Is Visiting My Website?
Agent Analytics tracks Sansec Security Monitor visits in real time alongside every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user agent string contains "Sansec Security Monitor". Look for probes of login, admin, and API paths. Keep in mind that Sansec Security Monitor doesn't publish a verification method, so any client can claim its user agent string and a log match is a hint rather than proof.
