Overview
Redactus Web Classifier is a security scanner from Redactus used for security scanning, malware checks, vulnerability assessment, certificate review, and site-safety analysis.
Its primary user-agent pattern is RedactusWebClassifier; related patterns include RedactusWebClassifier/1.0; a representative HTTP user-agent is RedactusWebClassifier/1.0.
Redactus Web Classifier 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.
Redactus Web Classifier should be reviewed against site policy, source evidence, crawl rate, and requested paths before a permanent allow or block rule is created.
