Parent article: An update on the scraper situation

I started seeing a ton of AI crawlers hammer all my git endpoints, and they're going right past the anubis checks; it seems a least some crawlers are using full web browsers that can do the proof of work.

Ouch.

So I'm back to a script that I run regularly that just scrapes the hammering IPs from the nginx log and iptables blocks them...

Anubis difficulty setting is running out of steam

We're hitting a problem point for the difficulty setting; the bots are now as willing as humans to solve a challenge at any difficulty level, which means that if you tweak difficulty up a bit more, you're going to put off humans, but not bots.
