**The Battle Against Bot Scrapers: How Anubis Protects Websites from Aggressive Scourge**

As a journalist, I've seen firsthand how the rise of AI-powered scrapers has put websites at risk of being overwhelmed and drained of their resources. These malicious actors use sophisticated algorithms to scrape websites, rendering them inaccessible to legitimate users. To combat this issue, website administrators have turned to an innovative solution: Anubis.

Anubis is a powerful tool that uses a Proof-of-Work scheme to protect websites from bot scrapers. The concept is simple: instead of relying solely on CAPTCHAs or other traditional security measures, Anubis adds a computational burden to the scraping process. This makes it much more expensive for malicious actors to scrape websites, making them less likely to target them.

But how does it work? At an individual scale, the additional load from Anubis is negligible. However, when applied at mass scraper levels, the added complexity becomes a significant barrier. The idea is that legitimate users will be able to navigate around these obstacles with ease, while malicious actors will be discouraged by the increased cost of scraping.

But what's the real purpose behind Anubis? According to experts, it's not just about protecting websites from bot scrapers. Rather, it's a "hack" that allows website administrators to gather more information about legitimate users without having to present them with complex challenge pages. This means that AI companies can use this data to better understand how headless browsers work – a crucial aspect of identifying and blocking malicious activity.

However, Anubis comes with some caveats. The solution requires the use of modern JavaScript features, which plugins like JShelter will disable. This means that users will need to enable JavaScript on this domain in order to access the challenge page. While a no-JS solution is still being worked on, it's clear that website administrators are taking proactive steps to protect their websites from malicious activity.

So what can you do to help? If you're using JShelter or other plugins that disable JavaScript, please consider disabling them on this domain. By doing so, you'll be helping to ensure that legitimate users can access the challenge page and protect your website from bot scrapers. Remember: together, we can build a safer online community for everyone.
