My opinion: This is a gray area, and you will probably attract unwanted attention of law enforcement if you delve too deeply into this sort of activity.  A better way forward might be to join OWASP and be as overt and public about your security measures as you can be.

Dear Experts,
I don't want Google to list my web site on search results, not even my home page.
so that, I created a robot.txt file and use below code
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Open in new window


because my web site only for my specific users, I don't want my website to be listed on search results, ( I already have a username and password authentication )

do you think I did the right thing?
