I made Anubis, a lightweight, open-source Web Application Firewall designed to block automated bot attacks without frustrating real users. Anubis uses techniques like TLS fingerprinting and JavaScript proof of work to keep your site safe while staying flexible, fast, and easy to deploy.
Afaik, almost every browser uses “Mozilla/5.0” as part of the user agent, Mozilla mentions it as well in developer docs about User agents, it’s a historical compatibility thing apparently.
it’s even stupider, it’s more like why there is no windows 9 because of programs doing stuff like ifos.name.startswith("windows 9") thenprint("this program is not compatible with windows 98") end
Why does default config check Mozilla specifically?
{ "name": "generic-browser", "user_agent_regex": "Mozilla", "action": "CHALLENGE" }Guess that’s why I’ve seen Anubis check screen quite a few times.

Interesting, thanks!
Guess it’s the same kinda thing as amd64 on Intel lol
