What is Kebo Guard?

Kebo Guard is a specialized crawler operated by Kebo Mods, designed to protect the intellectual property of digital mod creators. It systematically scans public file pages and sitemaps to detect unauthorized re-uploads of mods, allowing verified authors to identify potential copyright infringements. The bot is highly transparent, utilizing HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421) to allow site administrators to cryptographically verify its identity and ensure it is not an impersonator.

Helpful — It operates transparently, respects robots.txt, and provides cryptographic verification to ensure it is not a malicious actor.

What we read

Why it crawls your site

The bot crawls to compare the content of public file pages against a database of mods registered by verified authors on the Kebo Guard platform. It does not download files or bypass access controls; instead, it indexes metadata to identify matches. When a match is found, the system provides the author with the necessary information to issue a takedown notice, ensuring that the process remains under the control of the rights holder rather than an automated legal bot.
