Overview
Black Duck Fast Dynamic is a security scanner from Black Duck used for security scanning, malware checks, vulnerability assessment, certificate review, and site-safety analysis.
Its primary user-agent pattern is FastDAST; a representative HTTP user-agent is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/132.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 FastDAST/1.0.
Black Duck Fast Dynamic is Unverified at the identity-evidence level. The listed identity remains useful for detection, but this record does not currently contain authoritative evidence sufficient to authenticate the identity claim.
Robots.txt behavior is not currently confirmed.
Black Duck Fast Dynamic can usually be allowed after confirming the source and monitoring request volume.

Behavior and handling
- Common Use
- Black Duck Fast Dynamic is used for security scanning, malware checks, vulnerability assessment, certificate review, and site-safety analysis.
- Detection Notes
- Black Duck Fast Dynamic traffic is primarily detected by the `FastDAST` user-agent pattern; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/132.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 FastDAST/1.0`. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence with Black Duck infrastructure before trusting the traffic.
- Respects robots.txt
- Unknown
- Spoofing Risk
- Black Duck Fast Dynamic has medium spoofing risk because user-agent strings can be copied; pair the match with DNS, IP, behavior, or operator evidence.
- Risk
- Safe
- Recommended Handling
- Do not block
Rules and controls
- Robots.txt Snippet
