There's a non proof of work challenge: https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challeng...

Also: Anubis does not mine cryptocurrency. Proof of work is easy to validate on the server and economically scales poorly in the wild for abusive scrapers.



Thanks for the link. I’ll have a look.

I’m glad there’s no cryptocurrency involved (was never a concern) but I worry about the optics of something so closely associated.

(I appreciate your commenting on this. I know the project recently blew up in popularity. Keep up the great work)


If you have suggestions for JS based challenges that don't become a case of "read the source code to figure out how to make playwright lie", I'm all ears for the ideas :)
