Over half of web visits are generated by AI bots, including those from OpenAI and Google. This leads to significant concerns among website owners about automated scraping harming their resources. To combat this issue, Xe Iaso created Anubis, an open-source program designed to work as a web AI firewall. It requires users to solve puzzles that are easy for humans but challenging for bots, helping to filter out automated traffic and protect website core resources effectively.
F5 reports that over half of all web visits originate from data scrapers like OpenAI and Google, raising concerns about the impact of AI on online resources.
Xe Iaso developed Anubis as an open-source program to prevent AI bots from accessing website content, providing a self-hosted solution for website protection.
Anubis functions as a web AI firewall, requiring all incoming HTTP connections to pass a series of challenges before they reach the website, effectively filtering out bot traffic.
By using challenges that are easy for humans but difficult for bots, Anubis minimizes the risk of scraping and protects website resources from automated threats.
