Overview
Daum is a search crawler used for search indexing, URL discovery, page rendering, result freshness, and search-quality checks.
Its primary user-agent pattern is Daum/4.1; a representative HTTP user-agent is Mozilla/5.0 (Unknown; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/538.1 Daum/4.1.
Daum 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.
Daum can usually be allowed after confirming the source and monitoring request volume.

- Evidence Method
- Treat `Daum/4.1` as an identity signal only. Confirm it with current operator documentation, cryptographic verification, forward-confirmed reverse DNS, source-network ownership, or other authoritative evidence before trusting the claimed identity.

Behavior and handling
- Common Use
- Daum is used for search indexing, URL discovery, page rendering, result freshness, and search-quality checks.
- Detection Notes
- Daum traffic is primarily detected by the `Daum/4.1` user-agent pattern; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (Unknown; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/538.1 Daum/4.1`. Compare source IPs, reverse DNS, request paths, and crawl cadence before trusting the traffic.
- Respects robots.txt
- Unknown
- Spoofing Risk
- Daum 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
- Depends
