crusader-worker/1.0 is not associated with Crusader Proxy

Why you found this page

Website owners have contacted us after seeing crusader-worker/1.0 in their server logs and searching for the name. The shared word “Crusader” has led people to our website, but it does not establish a connection to our product or company.

This notice addresses the exact user-agent string crusader-worker/1.0. We have not verified the identity of its operator and cannot direct reports to a confirmed owner.

What Crusader Proxy is

Crusader Proxy is a desktop web security workstation developed by Crusader Security, LLC. Security professionals use it to inspect and test web and mobile application traffic on systems they are authorized to assess.

The worker identified above is not our service, and its name should not be used as evidence that Crusader Proxy or our company sent a request to your website.

Seeing this user-agent in your logs?

A user-agent is a request header supplied by the sender. It can be copied or changed, so it is not proof of identity, affiliation, or permission to access your site.

• Assess the requests using their source IP addresses, timestamps, requested URLs, volume, and behavior.
• Use your hosting provider's or CDN's logging and traffic controls to investigate or restrict unwanted requests.
• For an abuse report, use the source network's published abuse contact or your hosting provider's reporting process.

We cannot confirm whether a particular request is harmless or malicious from this user-agent alone. Do not allow traffic solely because it contains the word “Crusader.”

Reporting a problem

Crusader Security, LLC cannot stop, remove, or provide support for this unrelated worker. For a problem involving Crusader Proxy itself, visit Crusader support. For a vulnerability in our product, see our security reporting policy.
