Bad Bot Generator Tool

Safeguard Your Website with the Bad Bot Generator

Discover our straightforward tool designed to keep your website safe from unwanted visitors like automated chat and scrapers. Here’s a quick guide on how it works.

• Get the Latest List - Open our tool to see an updated list of Bot Agents & AI User Agents that you might want to block.
• Find What You Need - You can easily sort through the list by type (e.g., "Scraper" or "SEO Crawler") or search for a specific name.
• Pick Your Targets - Click "Add" next to any Bot Agent you want to block, moving it to a list of bots you're focusing on.
• Select Many at Once - With "Add All", you can choose all bots shown based on your current search or filter.
• Make Your Rules - Decide if you want a `robots.txt` file or a Cloudflare WAF rule to keep the selected Bot Agents out.
• Copy Rules Quickly - Hit "Copy to Clipboard" to grab your new set of rules for your website or Cloudflare setup.

Things to Remember

• Robots.txt - It's a simple way to tell bots not to visit your site, but not all will listen. It's a good starting point, but sometimes you need more security. More info on robots.txt
• Cloudflare WAF Rules - If you're making WAF rules for Cloudflare, remember there's a limit to how much you can put in one rule. You might need to split big lists into smaller ones. Cloudflare WAF Rules | Why Use Cloudflare WAF for Security

Use our tool to keep your website protected in a few simple steps.

** A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution designed to protect web applications by monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It operates at the application layer to help protect web applications from various security threats, including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. WAFs can be configured with rules to block malicious traffic, prevent data breaches, and ensure that only legitimate traffic reaches the web application.
