Even if it's not worth an actual site operators time to implement such a system themselves, WAFs like Cloudflare could easily check the IP address of clients claiming to be Googlebot/Bingbot and send them to CAPTCHA Hell on the sites behalf if they're lying. That's pretty low hanging fruit for a WAF, I would be surprised if they don't do that. edit: Indeed I just tried curling cloudflare.com with Googlebots user agent and they immediately gave me the finger (403) on the very first request. |
