Bot Access Control

Web Bot Auth

Web Bot Auth lets a bot cryptographically sign its requests, so a receiving site can tell a legitimate agent from a scraper pretending to be one.

Why it matters

This one is informational: publishing a key directory means "we sign our outbound requests". If you do not sign, publishing it would be a lie.

Pass criteria

A JWKS is published at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory.

What the scanner records
Every request the check makes is recorded (URL, method, response status, relevant headers and a body preview) and shown under the check in your results.
