Anubis, a Proof-of-Work-based bot protection system, has shipped its WebAssembly implementation after a year of development. The tool combats AI scraping by imposing computational costs on requests, serving as a temporary measure until more sophisticated fingerprinting techniques can distinguish headless browsers from real users.
Background
