@kaffeeringe das hatte ich auch schon, ebenfalls der Hinweis, per htaccess einfach gewisse/die meisten IP Netze zu sperren.
Was ich aber nicht verstehe: wenn so ein KI Bot eine Website "abgrast" sollte das doch mit einem Aufruf pro Seite erledigt sein. Wozu müssen die das 10.000e Male machen? Oder ist diese Technik des Einlesens einfach genauso schlecht und unausgereift, wie die Ausgaben?

Attaque crawlers IA en cours sur le serveur gayfr.online : 98% des challenges #Anubis sont rejetés (donc sont des bots), plus de 800 000 requêtes sur la semaine.

Du coup aucun impact sur les performances ni la disponibilité. Il reste juste un bot vietnamien malin qui passe sous les radars et interroge le service RSS avec plusieurs secondes ou minutes d'intervalle. Pas gênant mais je lui réglerai son compte.

Gibt es einen Trick, um fail2ban beizubiegen, daß es Hosts bannen soll, die vor dem Abgreifen von, sagen wir, JPGs, nichts anderes von der Site geholt haben?

Guests on our own web

A few months ago I spun up a new VPS on Linode, London datacentre. Nothing special – Debian, Nginx, a Let's Encrypt certificate, a domain I was going to use for my daily notes and my homelab experiments. No link posted anywhere, no entries in my feeds, no backlinks from the sites I run. Just a freshly assigned IP, from a subnet that a week earlier had belonged to someone else.

I’ve added new metrics related to Anubis, which protects us against AI bots. So at the bottom, you’ll see the number of bots blocked on sight (red), the number of visits that need to verify the “I’m not a robot” page (orange), the percentage that succeed (meaning they aren’t bots, in yellow), and finally the number of accepted human visits (green).

What’s interesting is that the percentage of bots varies throughout the week but remains very high (between 65% and 96% depending on the time). That’s huge! They attack in swarms, just like a pain in the ass…

That justifies the efforts made to protect against them.
