User-Agent

Acunetix

User-agent strings are identity signals, not proof of identity. Use Edge to compare the user-agent with IP, datacenter, behavior, path, and request history.

Verification and Detection

Verification method: Verify Acunetix by matching `Acunetix` to observed traffic patterns and user-agent evidence, then checking reverse DNS, IP ownership, request behavior, and crawl consistency.

Acunetix traffic is primarily detected by the `Acunetix` user-agent pattern. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence before trusting the traffic.

Handling Guidance

Use this public record as identity context, then verify source, behavior, and site impact inside Edge before creating rules.

Acunetix is used for security scanning, malware checks, vulnerability assessment, certificate review, and site-safety analysis.
