Additional information

The User-Agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Nmap Scripting Engine; https://nmap.org/book/nse.html)" is performing multiple GET and HEAD requests across various paths, possibly indicating scanning activity. The requests are not preceded by a robots.txt inquiry, suggesting non-compliance with web crawling standards.
