What is Verispider?
About
Verispider is a security scanning bot that analyzes websites for spam and security threats, utilizing Project Honeypot IP intelligence for threat assessment. You can see how often Verispider visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
Security scanners do not follow a predictable schedule when visiting websites. Their scans can be one-time, occasional, or recurring depending on the purpose of the scanner and the organization's security practices. The frequency and depth of their scans can vary based on factors like the visibility of the site on the public internet, past scan results, and inclusion in external threat intelligence feeds.
