❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this malware or a botnet?
No. DoWatchBot is an internet infrastructure monitoring tool. We collect publicly available information about domains and IPs. We do not install software, access private data, or perform any intrusive actions.
Why did you scan my server?
We continuously monitor publicly accessible internet infrastructure to build a comprehensive database of domains, DNS records, and web technologies. This data helps businesses and researchers understand the internet landscape.
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 DNS records, WHOIS information, open ports, and web technology details. This data powers our domain intelligence platform and is available to businesses, researchers, and developers via API.
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.
