Protecting Our Online Resources from Automated Scourges

You are seeing this message because the administrator of this website has taken proactive measures to safeguard its server against the relentless threat of AI-powered bots. The culprit behind these automated scripts is Anubis, a clever hack designed to deter web scraping activities.

Anubis operates on a Proof-of-Work scheme, similar to Hashcash, which was initially proposed as a solution to reduce email spam. While this system may seem like an added burden at the individual level, its effects become more pronounced when faced with mass scraper attacks. In essence, Anubis makes it more expensive for malicious actors to scrape websites, thereby providing a crucial safeguard against their nefarious activities.

The ultimate goal of Anubis is to create a "good enough" placeholder solution that allows website administrators to allocate more resources towards identifying and fingerprinting headless browsers. By doing so, the challenge proof-of-work page can be presented only to legitimate users who are less likely to be bot-generated traffic. This strategic approach enables websites to maintain their online presence while minimizing the impact of automated scraping.

However, Anubis comes with a caveat: it requires modern JavaScript features that some plugins may disable. In this case, we recommend disabling JShelter or similar plugins for our domain. Unfortunately, enabling JavaScript is still necessary to overcome this challenge, as AI companies have rewritten the social contract around website hosting. A no-JS solution remains a work-in-progress.

By embracing Anubis and its Proof-of-Work scheme, we can collectively build a stronger online community that protects our shared resources from malicious activities.
