Many software developers believe that AI web crawling boats are internet cockroaches. Some goddesses have often begun to fight easily, in hilarious ways.
While any website can be subjected to a bad crawler. Sometimes to take the site down – Open source developers are influenced “infinite”, Writes Nicholo Venerandi, a Linux desktop manufacturer, known as Plasma and the blog is known as the owner of Labrinos.
According to their nature, sites hosting free and open source projects are publicly distributing their infrastructure, and they have less resources than commercial products.
The problem is that many AI bots do not award the protocol robot dot TST file delete, the device that tells the bots what is not ringing, is actually created for search engine boats.
In a “crying for help” Blog Post In January, FOSS developer XE IASO told how the Amazon Boat fired strongly at the Gut Server website to cause DDOS closure. Gut servers hosted fossil projects so that they can download or contribute to anyone who can download the code.
The IASO said, but the boat ignored the IASO robot dot TST, hid behind the other IP addresses, and pretended to be other users.
The IASO expressed regret, “It is useless to stop the AI crawler boats because they lie, change their user agent, use residential IP addresses as a proxy, and much more.”
“They will scratch your site until it ends, and then they will scratch it. They will click on each link at each link, see the same pages more and more times. Some of these links will click the same link in the same second,” the developer wrote in the post.
Enter into the gods of the graves
So the IASO cleverly fought back, built a device called Innobis.
Is anobis Check an upside -down proxy -proof work Applications must be approved before allowing the gut server to target. It prevents boats but allows humans through browsers.

The IASO told the Tech Crunch, “Anubus weighed your soul (heart) and if it was heavy with the feather, your heart was eaten and you, like mega died.” If a web application approves the challenge and is determined to be a human being, A beautiful anime picture Declays success. The IASO says the drawing is that “Ibuses have the benefit of Introporafing Inbox.” If it is a boot, the request is refused.
In the Foos community, the air -like air -like project has spread. IASO Shared it on the gut hub On March 19, and in just a few days, it collected 2,000 stars, 20 partners, and 39 forks.
Vengeance as defense
The instant popularity of Anobis shows that IASO pain is not unique. In fact, Venerandi shared the story after the story:
- Founder CEO Source Hot Drew Devolt described “Over 20-100 % of my week in any week, reducing the hypertensive LLM crawlers at any week,” and “dozens of short closures each week.”
- FOSS developer Jonathan Carbet, who runs the Linux Industry News site LWN DDOS to be slow through level traffic “From AI scorching boats.”
- Kevin Fenzie, the Sesadman of the Linux Fedora Project, AI scrubni boats said It was very aggressive, it had to stop accessing the entire Brazilian country.
Venerandi told Tech Crunch that he knows about several other projects facing the same problems. One of them was “temporarily banned all Chinese IP addresses at one point.”
Wenrendi says, let’s sink for a moment – that developers have to “ban all countries” just to stop AI boats that ignore robot dotx files.
In addition to weighing the soul of a web applicant, other gods believe that revenge is the best defense.
A few days before Hacker newsUser xyzal Suggested Robot DotTXTS Pages “A bucket load of articles on the benefits of drinking bleach” or “articles on the positive effect of catching measles on bed performance”.
Zizal explained, “Think that we are not just a price of zero, visiting our nets, we have to make the purpose of boats to get the cost of negative_ utility.
As it happens, in January, an anonymous creator known as “Aaron” issued a tool that named Naphanthas The purpose is to do so. It traps crawlers in the endless maze of fake content, the purpose of the devot has been confessed ARS Technica If not based on gross malpractice, it is aggressive. The device is named after a meat a plant.
And Cloud Flair, probably the largest trading player who offers several tools to stop AI crawlers, released a similar tool last week called AI.
Cloud Flair stated that it aims to slow down, confuse and waste the resources of AI crawlers and other boats that do not respect ‘no crawls’ guidance. ” In her blog post. Cloud Flair said it fed AI crawlers “irrelevant content instead of extracting your legitimate website data.”
Source Hot’s Davolt told Tech Crunch that Napanes have a satisfying feeling of justice with him, as it makes the crallers nonsense and poisoned their wells, but eventually the Anubis is the solution that works for his site. “
But Davolt also issued a public, heart application to make a public, heart -stricken, “please stop legling LLMS or AI image generators or gut hubs or any of it. I am urging you to stop using them, stop using them.
Since it is likely to be Zelch, developers, especially in Foes, are fighting with cleverness and humor.
