Kebo Guard

A free tool that helps mod authors find copies of their own mods that were re-uploaded without permission.

What Kebo Guard does

• It reads public pages of mod mirror sites and compares them with the mods of authors who use Kebo Guard.
• Authors verify their identity with their Nexus Mods account. Only mods published by that account can be watched.
• When a match is found, the author decides whether it is their work. If so, the author sends a takedown notice in their own name, from their own e-mail address. Kebo Guard never sends notices itself and never acts on behalf of Nexus Mods.

How it behaves on your site

• It follows robots.txt (user agent KeboGuard or *).
• At most one request every few seconds per site.
• It never downloads files and never follows download links.
• It does not try to get around access controls such as login walls or bot challenges.
