mathling, 7 hours ago to random

Hmmm.... Here's something; another species of dictionary spam kinda

I get a lot of bots hitting my website. A lot. I shut out a lot of them (esp. SEO and AI scrapers) and some of them even honour my rate controls and refusals but today I'm seeing a swarm of what I assume are bot requests with the user agent listed as various random letters of the alphabet. The letters seem to be working together as they sweep through various directories.

Anyone seen this or knows what it is?
