This tool helps website administrators prevent downtime caused by AI companies aggressively scraping content. It is designed for those seeking to protect their servers from automated bots without blocking real users. The system implements a proof-of-work scheme similar to Hashcash, which adds computational cost for mass scrapers, making large-scale scraping economically unfeasible. For individual visitors, the load is negligible, ensuring a smooth experience for legitimate traffic. Over time, the tool aims to improve by fingerprinting headless browsers to reduce challenges for likely human users.

Proof-of-Work Challenges: Requires bots to solve computational tasks before accessing content, increasing scraping costs. Targets Mass Scrapers: Focuses on deterring large-scale automated attacks while minimizing disruption to regular visitors. Modern JavaScript Requirement: Uses up-to-date web technologies, which may be incompatible with certain privacy plugins like JShelter. Version Tracking: Provides transparency with version details, such as v1.22.0, for administrators to monitor updates. Future Development: Plans to enhance fingerprinting methods to better distinguish between bots and humans, reducing unnecessary challenges.
