About:
Anubis is a protective middleware that sits in front of web applications to identify and block scraper bots attempting to access protected resources. It analyzes incoming traffic patterns and applies challenge mechanisms to differentiate legitimate users from automated threats. This tool helps maintain service availability and reduces unwanted resource consumption caused by aggressive crawling.
Key Features:
  • Bot detection using proof-of-work challenges
  • Configurable protection rules and thresholds
  • Minimal performance overhead for legitimate traffic
  • Real-time traffic analysis and blocking
  • Easy integration with existing web infrastructure
Use Cases:
  • Protecting API endpoints from automated abuse
  • Preventing content scraping on public websites
  • Reducing server load from bot traffic
  • Securing login and registration forms
Alternatives:
  • cloudflare – Cloud-based CDN with bot management, requires external service
  • fail2ban – General purpose IPS, focuses on log analysis rather than real-time challenges
  • nginx-naxsi – Web application firewall module, requires nginx and complex rule management
