You are seeing this page because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis, a protective measure designed to safeguard against the growing threat of AI-powered web scrapers.

Anubis is a compromise solution that uses a Proof-of-Work scheme similar to Hashcash, a proposed method for reducing email spam. At an individual scale, the additional load may seem negligible, but when it comes to mass scraper attacks, Anubis becomes a formidable barrier. The goal of this system is not to prevent legitimate traffic entirely, but rather to make scraping more expensive and less appealing to malicious actors.

By implementing Anubis, website administrators can create a temporary placeholder that requires users to complete a simple challenge, which in turn identifies potential headless browsers used by AI-powered scrapers. This allows the site's defenses to be tailored to address these emerging threats, rather than relying on broad, universal solutions.

However, Anubis comes with some caveats. It relies on modern JavaScript features that may be disabled by certain plugins or extensions, such as JShelter. Users of this domain must disable any plugins like JShelter to bypass the challenge and access the site. In short, enabling JavaScript is now required to pass the test.

It's worth noting that Anubis is a stopgap measure designed to address the evolving landscape of website hosting in response to AI-powered threats. A no-JS solution remains a work-in-progress, but for now, users must be willing to compromise on this aspect to ensure their access to the site.

As we move forward in an era where web scraping has become increasingly sophisticated, Anubis represents an important step towards protecting websites from abuse and ensuring that legitimate traffic can continue to flow without interruption.
