Overview
LohiSoftBot is a search-index crawler operated by LohiSoft s.r.o..
It uses the LohiSoftBot/1.0 identity and honors robots.txt. The operator documents a transition between a contact-email form and a bot-page form of the full user-agent.
The operator publishes fixed source IP addresses and recommends forward-confirmed reverse DNS using the .bot.lohisoft.com hostname suffix.
Verify the user-agent together with source-network or FCrDNS evidence before treating a request as authenticated.
