Verifying Our Bot
To verify that a request is genuinely from SaaS Browser Bot and not a malicious scraper spoofing our user agent, you can perform a two-step DNS verification process. First, do a reverse DNS lookup (PTR record check) on the IP address making the request. The hostname should resolve to crawler.saasbrowser.com or *.saasbrowser.com. Second, perform a forward DNS lookup on that hostname to ensure it resolves back to the original IP address. This forward-confirmed reverse DNS check confirms authenticity.
For example:
- ~/$ nslookup 45.55.138.37
- 37.138.55.45.in-addr.arpa name = crawler2.saasbrowser.com.
- ~/$ nslookup crawler2.saasbrowser.com
- …
- Non-authoritative answer:
- Name: crawler2.saasbrowser.com
- Address: 45.55.138.37
