Spiders hiding their tracks

kw: blogging, spider scanning

In the past 24 hours, 210 hits have been registered that I consider spider scans:

The 133 from "Unknown Region" match the 133 that originated in Linux systems. Linux offers more tools for hiding identity. The 77 from Russia apparently match the 77 that used IE on Windows, but I can't all that a definite match. The "real" traffic, hopefully of people with some scant interest in reading the blog, is around 25. I hope y'all aren't just bumping into me by accident and skipping out in a heartbeat!

Anyway, Cheers to all, and I hope the 5 Americans who passed this way had a Happy Thanksgiving.
