How to detect Argios Monitoring Bot
Argios Monitoring Bot signs its requests, so you detect it by verifying the cryptographic signature on each request. A valid signature proves the request came from IPS INTERNATIONNAL; a copied user agent without the signature does not.

What is Argios Monitoring Bot?
Argios Monitoring Bot is a crawler run by IPS INTERNATIONNAL that signs its requests.
Does Argios Monitoring Bot identify itself?
Yes. Argios Monitoring Bot signs its requests cryptographically, which is the strongest way an agent can identify itself.
Can a bot pretend to be Argios Monitoring Bot?
Not convincingly. A bot can copy Argios Monitoring Bot's user agent, but without IPS INTERNATIONNAL signing keys its requests fail verification and it is not labeled Argios Monitoring Bot.

What does the Verisoul API return for Argios Monitoring Bot?
Every session Verisoul identifies as Argios Monitoring Bot carries an agent block with id "argios_monitoring_bot", name, provider, type "crawler", detection_method "signed" and the detection_signals used (cryptographic, behavioral). Build rules on the id, type and detection method.
