A little clarity beneath the surface

Good fish. Bad intentions.

A calmer view of your traffic. Give the friendlies room to swim, and keep a closer eye on whatever takes the bait.

Four tanks. Different intentions.

Select a tank to look closer ↗
A handful from the dock

Feed the fish.

The water always has a little bait. Add your own handful and see who takes an interest.

Always stocked · your handful lasts 6 hours

Fictional records only. Feeding does not create a fish; observed visits do.

Up to three handfuls every six hours on your network. Generated data only; never real credentials or records.

Keeper access

Open the observatory.

Enter your dashboard key to view private request details. Everyone can view the public aquarium. Your keeper session lasts four hours, survives reloads, and also unlocks the bait bench. Locking ends the session.

Traits reflect recorded requests. Speed and volume alone do not indicate danger.

The tank filter

A guide for polite crawlers.

The mesh represents robots.txt instructions. A crawler can ignore them. This filter does not enforce access or identify a dangerous fish.

The file must live at /robots.txt on each hostname. A copy inside a repository subfolder does not control the whole host.
