I fight bots in my free time
xeiaso.net
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.

    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.

    I use the lynx browser sometimes, for hacker news, some blogs that I follow, or just for a quick browse to find an answer.

    The fact that more and more websites need to use this kind of protection is saddening me, since lynx doesn’t support JavaScript.

    That’s just another reason why I fucking hate AI.

    I don’t hate it, I /fucking/ hate AI.

      You can bypass it by changing the user agent to not include Mozilla in the beginning.

    Interesting. I clicked on a link here a couple weeks ago and was presented with this and wasn’t really sure what it was. Thanks for sharing this! It seems like a good alternative.

    Cool project. The closing slide was pretty funny

    If you are working at an AI company, here’s how you can sabotage Anubis development as easily and quickly as possible. So first is quit your job, second is work for Square Enix, and third is make absolute banger stuff for Final Fantasy XIV. That’s how you can sabotage this the best.
