What is "Moozilla" and why is it hitting my website 60 thousand times a day?

[LordJezo]

Someone at an AOL IP address is using something called Moozilla to hit our website almost 100 thousand times a day...

Anyone know what is going on?

 

[toekramp]

is it 60 or 100?

"MOOzilla is a cross-platform MOO client capable of rendering inline HTML
directly from a MOO. It also works on any type of MUD, MUCK, MUSH, or whatever
else. It is similar to Pueblo_, but it is capable of rendering much more HTML,
and it is available on any platform which can run the Mozilla web browser. It
has these incredible features:

* Command history
* Scrollback buffer
* Text configuration
* Tab completion
* Context web search
* Automatic hyper-linking
* Command hyper-links
* Inline HTML rendering
* HTML entity rendering
* Independent Single and Multiline Text Edit
* Unicode UTF-8 input and output

MOOzilla is developed by a team of programmers from `MOO Canada`_, and is
distributed under the terms of the GNU_ `General Public License`_. Under the

MOOzilla is distributed as a '.xpi' file, which is a Mozilla package that, when
unzipped, contains the source of the software.

Maybe it's not a mud client perse' but a bastardization of it. Like someone using it for a trojan either inside or ouside your firewall.
