I've spent the last few days adding traps to one of my websites, ironically using LLMs of course, and I've been having quite a lot of fun doing it. Instead of the proof-of-work system of Anubis, I've gone down the iocaine route but implemented it in my application itself, as it's built in Elixir and causing problems for scrapers is really fun when it takes almost no server resources. Currently I trick bad scrapers in…
I had to look up what iocaine route is. Here's an article that explains well: https://firesphere.dev/articles/iocaine-the-deadliest-poison...
That was somewhat helpful, thanks, but the most interesting aspect for me is how iocaine tries to determine whether a request comes from a bot (since if this can be done reliably, we're done) -- but on that, all the link says is that it "uses a set of logical rules".
