# GenomeCrawlerd

> Crawler for Nokia Deepfield Secure Genome, a 'security map' of the internet used for traffic analysis and DDoS detection/mitigation in Nokia Deepfield Defender. It systematically crawls the IPv4 and active IPv6 address spaces on specific ports to identify the services hosts provide.

## Dossier

- Kind: Scanners & probes
- Operator: Nokia (Deepfield) (https://www.nokia.com/)
- Documentation: https://www.nokia.com/genomecrawler/
- robots.txt tokens: none documented
- Feeds: security scan
- Respects robots.txt: Not documented. Nokia's page does not mention robots.txt; it offers IP ranges to allowlist/blocklist. A third-party directory (Centinel) describes it as a genomics research crawler, which the Nokia page contradicts.
- Verification: Published IP ranges
- Labels matched in our logs: genomecrawlerd

## Why it matters to New Runtime (our interpretation)

Not a reader: an infrastructure/security scan of our host; exclude from audience metrics.

Identity: A family name is what a client claims in its user agent. It is verified only when its request came from the operator's published IP ranges or passed forward-confirmed reverse DNS, as reported per family in /crawler-journeys.json. Anyone can claim any name.
