SCN-ZMAP-ZGRAP is a tracked bot identity in the Mothlight observatory. A scanner that probes many hosts, ports, or paths to map what is exposed. Scanning is reconnaissance, not by itself a compromise. This profile describes observed requests and classification evidence, not the intent of every visitor sharing a signature.
Questions, answered
Is confidence the same as AI likelihood?+
No. Confidence measures support for the assigned label (out of 100). AI likelihood estimates evidence for AI involvement (out of 100). Identity verification is reported separately.
Confidence and AI likelihood are scores out of 100, not shares of traffic. Percentages elsewhere on this page state their denominator in the section text.

Evidence tier summary
verified: 0 publishable observations (identity supported by authoritative evidence)

What this actor does
Mostly GET requests to /, /developmentserver/metadatauploader, /mcp from 61 sources across 1 persona; 10 distinct paths observed; no exploitation attempts observed.
Based on 80 requests from 61 distinct sources. Buckets with fewer than 3 events or 2 sources are hidden. IPs are never listed here; user agents are shown only as product families. Percentages in breakdowns use the publishable buckets shown as their denominator.
Activity over time
Window adapts to available data since first seen; empty early periods are trimmed and labelled, not stretched across a 30-day axis.
Services / traps targeted: not-found (32 of 79 publishable trap observations), persona-home (29 of 79 publishable trap observations), site-page (18 of 79 publishable trap observations).
No publishable technique tags yet.
No publishable CVE observations yet. This does not mean the actor never probed a vulnerability; only that no bucket reached the publication threshold.
Robots, canary and honeytoken behaviour
Robots compliance: Not measured yet for this actor.
Canary follows: 0 publishable canary follows
Honeytoken uses: 0 publishable honeytoken uses
Following a canary or using a honeytoken is behavioural evidence; it does not by itself prove AI involvement or intent.
Related bots
No related bots above the similarity threshold.
No publishable related actors yet. Related actors are publishable bots sharing a known-bot identity, cluster label, or technique set; withheld single-source actors are not listed here.
