    Why would a crawler coming from Google netblock show up as malevolent?

      Playing with snort and get this:

      TCP
      Detection of a Network Scan
      SRC 66.249.67.89
      Dest IP X.X.X.X Port 80
      1:2015527 ET WEB_SERVER Fake Googlebot UA 2 Inbound
      

      But it seems that this space in 66.249.x.x is a known Google block.

        Disable the broken rule. And while at it, disable 1:2015526, same idiocy.
