phpBB uses strings in the user agent to identify bots, Google for example. Malicious bots do not identify themselves and will use a browser user agent. The easiest way to identify them is to look at the Awstats which is going to be available through most hosting control panels. Scroll to the IP section and it will show you the activity by IP.Thank you both. I am still trying to figure out how I can see the bots arrive on the site. The list of spiders/crawlers seems to only have information that I enter.
