Be warned: if you're seeing this message, it's likely that your browser or device is being tested by Anubis, the AI-powered security system designed to protect our website from bot scraping.
Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme, similar to Hashcash, to deter aggressive bots from crawling our site. This compromise may cause occasional downtime, making our resources inaccessible to legitimate users. However, its true purpose is to buy time for our team to focus on more advanced methods of fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers.
The idea behind Anubis is that the additional load it imposes at individual scales is negligible. But when faced with mass scrapers, this scheme becomes a significant barrier, making web scraping much more expensive and less appealing.
However, this solution comes with a catch: Anubis requires modern JavaScript features to function, which means that plugins like JShelter will need to be disabled on our domain. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we must prioritize the security of our website in today's landscape.
Please note that you'll still need to enable JavaScript to overcome the challenge posed by Anubis. This is a necessary evil in a world where AI companies have rewritten the social contract around web hosting and security. While we're working on a no-JS solution, this is our current workaround.
So, what can you do? If you're seeing this message, please take a moment to disable any plugins that might interfere with Anubis, like JShelter. Together, we can protect our website and ensure that legitimate users continue to have access to the resources they need.
