You should be able to tell if it cares about robots.txt by looking in the logs to see if it's downloading /robots.txt. If it is then something like: User-agent: LinkWalker Disallow: /
will keep it off your site. If it doesn't, then iptables will keep it away. Robots info: http://www.global-positioning.com/robots_text_file/index.html The fact that it downloads binaries too makes me think it's a site sucker and not a legit spider.
