xxx_robots.txt

While looking at my stats log I noticed a search for xxx_robots.txt. Has anyone else seen this? Is this some new file to use for robots for adult sites? |huh

My theory is that someone or something is searching for peoples' old robots.txt files. I have no idea why one would do that, but I'm sure it's not a good thing. Prefixing an old file with 'xxx_' or 'xxx-' or 'old_' or 'old-' is pretty common.

Seems to be someone looking to get recognition for the file
