❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this malware or a botnet?
No. DoWatchBot is a legitimate security research tool. We do not install malware, steal data, or participate in any malicious activities. Our scans are passive reconnaissance only.
Why did you scan my server?
We scan publicly accessible internet infrastructure as part of security research. This helps identify vulnerable systems, track internet trends, and improve overall security posture.
How can I verify this is legitimate?
Check our User-Agent string in your logs. It will always contain DoWatchBot and link to this page.
What do you do with the data?
We collect open ports, DNS records, WHOIS information, and TLS certificate details. This data is used for security research and is not sold or shared with third parties for malicious purposes.
I received a Spamhaus/abuse complaint about your IP
This is likely a false positive. Our scanners probe internet infrastructure which can sometimes trigger automated threat detection systems. Please contact us and we will work with you to resolve it.
