About DigiFlazzWebhook

This bot verified by DigiFlazz for notif/webhook transaction

Webhook senders call your endpoints to deliver events from payment, messaging and SaaS platforms. Blocking them breaks integrations. Allow them on the webhook paths they need and nowhere else.

DigiFlazzWebhook user agent

DigiFlazzWebhook identifies itself with this user agent string:

  • Digiflazz-Hookshot

Anyone can copy a user agent string. Transfon Security also checks where each request comes from, so a request that claims to be a known crawler but comes from the wrong network is treated as a fake, not as the real crawler.

How to block DigiFlazzWebhook in robots.txt

We have not confirmed whether DigiFlazzWebhook follows robots.txt. Add a rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped. robots.txt is a plain text file at the root of your domain, such as https://example.com/robots.txt.

Things to know

  • Each host needs its own file. Rules on www.example.com do not apply to shop.example.com.
  • A crawler obeys only the most specific group that names it. Once you add a User-agent: Digiflazz-Hookshot group, DigiFlazzWebhook ignores your User-agent: * rules, so repeat any that should still apply.
  • The user agent name is not case sensitive. We take Digiflazz-Hookshot from DigiFlazzWebhook's user agent; check DigiFlazz's own documentation if it publishes a different robots.txt name.
  • Crawlers cache robots.txt, so changes can take up to a day to apply. Disallow stops crawling but does not remove pages already collected or indexed.

Limits of robots.txt

  1. DigiFlazzWebhook may not follow the rule. robots.txt is a request that nothing enforces, and we have not confirmed that DigiFlazzWebhook follows it. Check your logs after adding a rule.
  2. The user agent could be fake. robots.txt matches the name a request claims. Anyone can send DigiFlazzWebhook's user agent, and a scraper using it is not bound by DigiFlazz's robots.txt policy. Only checking the source network tells a real DigiFlazzWebhook from a fake one.

Treat robots.txt as a statement of your policy, and enforce it where requests arrive.

Frequently asked questions

What is DigiFlazzWebhook?

DigiFlazzWebhook is a bot in the webhook senders category, operated by DigiFlazz. This bot verified by DigiFlazz for notif/webhook transaction

Does DigiFlazzWebhook respect robots.txt?

We have not confirmed whether DigiFlazzWebhook follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.

How do I block DigiFlazzWebhook?

Add "User-agent: Digiflazz-Hookshot" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "Digiflazz-Hookshot" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.

Is robots.txt enough to block DigiFlazzWebhook?

No. robots.txt is voluntary, so DigiFlazzWebhook may not follow it, and anyone can send DigiFlazzWebhook's user agent, so a fake DigiFlazzWebhook ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.

Should I block DigiFlazzWebhook?

Webhook senders call your endpoints to deliver events from payment, messaging and SaaS platforms. Blocking them breaks integrations. Allow them on the webhook paths they need and nowhere else.
