I got few emails last week like this,

Code: Select all

Sample Email:
crawl-66-249-79-170.googlebot.c0m) blocked for port scanning

IP:      66.249.79.170 (US/United States/California/Mountain View/crawl-66-249-79-170.googlebot.c0m)
Hits:    6
Blocked: Temporary Block
(i use 0 for com's o, because of not auth for post url links)

1-why googlebot portscan my server?
2-Can a hacker use this ip to fool me?(how to be sure if its really coming from google)
3-If this is normal, how can i make sure csf not blocking googlebot again? :confused:

Use csf.rignore to ignore search engine bots.
