: What is the notified-CompliancePage page? I sometimes have bots (I assume) hitting pages such as: /notified-CompliancePage?aHR0cDovL3d3dy5teXBpdm90cy5jb20vZGFpbHlub3Rlcw== /verify-CompliancePage?aHR0cDovL3d3dy5teXBpdm90cy5jb20vZGFpbHlub3Rlc

I think it's more likeley that it's an example of this gone bad: bto.bluecoat.com/tech-brief/creating-notification-policies-coaching-splash-and-compliance
BlueCoat can be configured to show a notification to the user that they have to accept before moving on to the destination page. In my example, it's sending almost everyone who gets one of those to a 404 page on the destination site, because something is wrong/off in the redirect.

Bit of digging turns up this old thread from Webmaster World, another thread from ServerFault. The conclusion seems to be that it's caused by a bot looking for installations of a Bluecoat product called ProxySG to attack.


Seems a security product called ProxySG uses requests like
verify-SNL_Splash. Meant to be on the LAN side but apparently it may
be possible to attack the product and the external hits you are seeing
may be bot's probing to find users of ProxySG.


Googling the term shows a lot of odd results including some sites which have dedicated sales and advertising pages to 'notified-CompliancePage' so it seems like a common enough problem that spammers are taking advantage of the confusion...
