Interfering with services in order to clean a bot would be a much more plausible excuse if there was a bot. There is no bot.
So are you claiming no bots ever try to connect to that server?
I don't care if bots ever try to connect to that server. I can effectively stop the bots from connecting to servers by shutting down the Internet, but that doesn't make that solution reasonable or correct. ...
