Anubis provides protection against bots scraping websites and DDoSing projects.

This blog post is about Xe’s reasoning for originally only providing docker packages and their work to provide native packages.

    Anubis without JavaScript is what I’m waiting for. I know that the Darknet forum Dread has a PoW system that doesn’t use JS (or maybe it does something else entirely and I completely missed it)

      How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it’s not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I’m curious how you would implement a system without JS.

        Maybe the solution is for browsers to include POW functionality natively.

        We see dumb shit like “you need to enable DRM yadayada.” We could have a similar thing for “you need to enable POW.”
