And also for many human visitors, (i guess since many have javascript) the plugin can retrieve a resolution. So, there can be a filter that filters out visitors that resolution is defined for.

I just left added to the support ticked with bots, etc., that WassUp isn't identifying, but I had an additional question/request that probably belongs here. I assume there must be a list of patterns that are used to identify spiders, etc. If so, why not expose it for updating between WassUp releases and/or for user customization? It would be nice for users to be able to set up their own filtered Visitor Details lists. Visitors with local IPs, for instance, or referred from a few specific sites. It's a great plugin and most appreciated. Thanks.

While looking at Wassup's detail screen, I noticed a significant number of visitors on my site with Windows/IE user agents that were moving from page to page too quickly to be human (2 secs or less between hits). Here's an example: 206.45.82.241 / 2008-02-28 23:47:55 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: 206-45-82-241.static.mts.net UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT) OS: Windows NT BROWSER: MSIE 5.0 23:47:42 ->/feed 23:47:43 ->/feed/atom 23:47:43 ->/about/showinfo 23:47:45 ->/imagegallery 23:47:47 ->/forumlinks 23:47:48 ->/fanfiction 23:47:50 ->/episodeguide 23:47:51 ->/tech-tools 23:47:53 ->/88 23:47:54 ->/87 23:47:55 ->/86 There is nothing that Wassup can do about these bad bots. I personally try to block them by IP in my .htaccess file, but that is like using pebbles to make a dam. I just wanted to let everyone know that top ten stats for OS and Browsers can be distorted by these bots that hide behind browser user-agents. I found this great web site that has a database of user-agents from both browsers and bots, including those that attempt to disguise themselves. It is called <a href="http://www.botsvsbrowsers.com/">BotsVsBrowsers.com</a>. It even has the UA's of the latest internet-ready mobile devices which I am getting more hits from everyday. helene on "unidentifed spiders/search eng/browsers" http://www.wpwp.org/forums/topic/unidentifed-spiderssearch-engbrowsers#post-217 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:46:19 +0000 helene 217@http://www.wpwp.org/forums/ Cool!

But in the interest of keeping Wassup stats accurate, here's a list of some bots/feeds/search engines/browsers that Wassup currently does not recognize: ------------------ Unidentified Bots: 64.40.117.39 / 2008-01-04 15:11:17 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: sphere.com UserAgent: Sphere Scout&v4.0 - scout at sphere dot com OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A 64.158.138.84 /robots.txt 2008-01-04 04:02:21 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: floodgate.intelliseek.com UserAgent: BlogPulseLive (support@blogpulse.com) OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A 207.171.167.25 /robots.txt 2008-01-03 21:37:33 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: iad-fw-global.amazon.com UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AMZNKAssocBot/4.0) OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A 82.99.30.22 /50/ 2008-01-05 22:47:36 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: 82.99.30.22 UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) OS: Windows XP BROWSER: MSIE 6.0 This is the Munax.com crawler that has been hitting my site from the IP range 82.99.30.0/25. It deliberately does not identify itself as a bot and does not obey robots.txt. In Wassup, it skews the Top OS/Top Browser stats. 77.88.23.137 / 2008-02-05 05:32:54 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: walrus031.yandex.ru UserAgent: Yandex/1.01.001 (compatible; Win16; H) OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A * 05:32:54 ->/robots.txt 208.109.189.127 /robots.txt 2008-02-06 10:43:23 Referer: <a href="http://supernatural.hellioness.com/imagegallery/" rel="nofollow">http://supernatural.hellioness.com/imagegallery/</a> Hostname: ip-208-109-189-127.ip.secureserver.net UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; heritrix/1.12.0 +http://www.picmole.com) OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A ---------------------------- Unidentified Feed Reader UA: 205.175.123.102 /feed/ 2008-01-04 21:12:42 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: p172-28-102-0.nat.washington.edu UserAgent: Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty) OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A 83.132.17.98 /feed/ 2008-01-12 19:15:09 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: a83-132-17-98.cpe.netcabo.pt UserAgent: veoh-??0 service (NT 5.1; IE 6.0.2900.2180; en-US Windows) us OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A I had multiple hits from this mystery feedreader before an actual visit to my site (with WinXP/IE6) from the same IP. ---------------------------- Unidentified Search Engines: 68.186.178.8 / 2008-01-09 18:16:05 Referrer: <a href="http://www.goodsearch.com/Search.aspx?Keywords=supernatural" rel="nofollow">http://www.goodsearch.com/Search.aspx?Keywords=supernatural</a> online petition&Source=mozillaplugin Hostname: 68-186-178-8.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 us OS: Windows XP BROWSER: Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 65.33.183.250 /87/ 2008-02-18 18:28:33 Referrer: <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&client=news&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&q=Mystery-Spot" rel="nofollow">http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&client=news&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&q=Mystery-Spot</a> Sam Dean Jared&sa=N&start=20 Hostname: 250.183.33.65.cfl.res.rr.com UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) OS: Windows XP BROWSER: MSIE 6.0 ---------------------- Unidentified Browsers: 71.255.194.93 / 2008-01-04 05:15:48 Referer: Direct hit Hostname: pool-71-255-194-93.bltmmd.east.verizon.net UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en) AppleWebKit/522.15.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.3 Safari/522.15.5 OS: Windows XP BROWSER: N/A <--- should say Safari 71.200.219.12 / 2008-02-05 06:47:46 Referer: <a href="http://supernatural.hellioness.com/" rel="nofollow">http://supernatural.hellioness.com/</a> Hostname: c-71-200-219-12.hsd1.fl.comcast.net UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90) Gecko/20020502 CS 2000 7.0/7.0 OS: N/A N/A BROWSER: N/A
