Buck is the crawler described by Hypefactors for its media-monitoring service. The operator explains that it discovers pages and follows links to find content for monitoring. Such a request is automated traffic, not evidence of a human reader or of an analytics script installed on your site.
Historical record
- IP address:
35.208.199.163. - Country recorded by the site: United States.
Recorded user-agent:
Buck/2.3.2; (+https://app.hypefactors.com/media-monitoring/about.html)The address, country and version above belong to the site's historical record. A client can send a copied identifier, so those values alone do not verify the current operator of a request.
Reviewing access and server load
Compare the frequency, requested paths and response codes before attributing a performance problem to this crawler. A single log entry does not show the total load or establish harmful behaviour.
Hypefactors states that Buck respects robots.txt and provides instructions for opting out or contacting the operator in its official Buck crawler information. Review that guidance before changing access rules.
If you share diagnostic log excerpts, remove session tokens and unrelated private information. Keep private areas protected by authentication rather than relying on a bot's declared name.
