Java/1.6.0_16 Bot - El Forum - 09-06-2009
[eluser]bobbob[/eluser]
I just got 100 sessions set in about 30 seconds by a bot with the user agent :Java/1.6.0_16.
Should I be concerned?
Also how does CI decide a new session should be started? Occasionally i see users get two sessions at once in the database table. In this case about a 100!

100 sessions is quite a bit. There are some Java based web-crawlers out there. if you want to block it it's up to you and very easy to block things like that with your .htaccess file
