Does securityfocus.com block AI crawlers?

No. As of October 19, 2026, securityfocus.com's robots.txt allows all 17 AI crawlers we check everywhere. None of them is named in the file: they all follow its rules for every crawler (User-agent: *).

Its /llms.txt returns an HTML page, not an llms.txt file. Its homepage is 2,857 tokens of raw HTML, 259 as Markdown (9.1%) and 108 pruned for the question “What is securityfocus.com?”.

Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules

From https://securityfocus.com/robots.txt (70 bytes, 1 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
