Anubis Will Judge You: AI-Powered Firewall Defending Web Traffic
summary
Anubis claims to replace CAPTCHAs by issuing a token after three checks: fingerprint verification, JS behavior challenge, and a proof-of-work CPU puzzle that is solvable only by a browser and expires in 24 hours. It’s implemented in Go and deploys at the edge (nginx, Kubernetes, Docker, cloud), reportedly used by FreeBSD, OpenWrt and Valve Proton-related services, and aims to block AI-driven scrapers; current caveat: the hash routine is weak and flagged as easily bypassable.
