[IPB] Biggest Bot List Ever v5.0.1 Released!


Question

After neglecting the bot lists for over a year, I have taken it upon myself to rebuild the lists from scratch. This has led to the creation of 5.0.0. Many new bots have been added, with some removed as well. Also, a new technique for IDing bots has been implemented allowing one ID on the list to catch dozens or more bots IDs from the same site.

I've created a new site dedicated for all this bot-goodness which can be found at IPBots.info!

On the site you will find current download links, changelogs, and everything you need!

I've only had time to finish the Biggest Bot List, but others will be coming soon!

If you really do love my work, please consider making a small (or large!) donation with the link on the homepage.

Bot/Spider List 4.0.0 Released! Whats new?

  • 5 New bot lists.
  • 150 Dead bots removed.
  • 18 Bot entries beginning with "Mozilla" have been removed due to issues with the list logging members as bots.
  • 27 Updated bots (mostly campitilaztion errors.)
  • Changed list name.

The removal of (exactly) 150 dead bots should speed up the board - although you probably won't notice it.

All lists are now avaliable in .docx format.

It's quite an amazing format! Reduced the size of the .doc Bot List from 92KB to 25KB. It's even smaller than the .rtf format sitting at 46KB.

Enjoy! :D

No.

Yes. (see below)

Hey cooldude.

I was wondering if I could post a link to this guide in my Complete IPB Guide topic?

Thanks,

SadJoker

Sure, but please give credit.

Is this still alive?

Yes!

I've just started work on version 5.0.0. Going to add a BUNCH of new bots, remove dead ones, make a "Most Common" list for those who don't want all the extra tracking, and make the document prettier!

Thanks Fred!

This is my first time posting this here at IPSBeyond, but many of you probably know about this from other sites like Invisionize or the official IPS forums.

Before you use this list, I strongly recommend you run the following command on your IPB install:

TRUNCATE TABLE `ibf_spider_logs`

This will empty your bot logs and will remove old logs and remove some empty tables you will likely have as a result of many bot entries being removed.

Within 10 seconds of me running this command, my board was already logging 25+ new spider hits.

Again - this is highly recommended!

I've drafted up a list of popular bots that seem to visit often and search engines that people use often.

Get it at http://ipbots.info/download.htm - only .doc and .docx are available atm.

Please let me know here if you feel anything should be added or taken off. The list will be final later this week if no one has anything to say.

    • Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.
    • These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
