What is Anubis?
Anubis is a lightweight, self-hostable proof-of-work challenge system designed to protect websites from aggressive AI scraping. It presents visitors with a computational challenge that is trivial for individual users but expensive for mass scrapers, thereby reducing server load and downtime. It is a compromise solution that aims to make scraping costly while minimizing impact on legitimate users.
How to use Anubis?
- Website administrators install and configure Anubis on their server to intercept incoming requests. When a visitor arrives, Anubis presents a proof-of-work challenge in the browser; once solved, the visitor is granted access to the site. The system requires modern JavaScript and may need to be disabled for certain browser plugins like JShelter.
