  • I suppose it comes down to being offensive or defensive. I don’t think being defensive is worth my time. I’m not paying for bandwidth and compute-time is so cheap it’s irrelevant so I’m on the offensive. You can do both if you want. There’s definitely more ready-to-go defensive solutions than there are offensive (your own article, for example), but I think tinkering and adapting my own solution is fun. It’s like a game of cat and mouse but they have money to lose and I don’t.


  • Again it must always be stressed that this is a false sense of security. You can only block crawlers that identify themselves, or by pulling an IP block list of offenders which means they’ve already offended in order to be identified and they can just change their IP address.

    You can’t block them, but you can make their life harder. Return 200 OK on 404 Not Found so malicious bots trying to drive-by you for random URLs like /admin or whatever will think they found something. Make honeypots that redirect and loop, filled with bait wordlists and forms that go nowhere. Poison to well. Deliberately serve incorrect, broken or AI-generated data to known bots.

    Waste their time, instead of wasting your own time.

    Gør nu bare lortet gratis. Jeg er overbevist om at det koster flere penge at købe og vedligeholde de her systemer end hvis tog og bus bare var gratis. Hvor mange penge kunne vi spare på alle de biler vi kunne fjerne fra vejen hvis toget bare virkede?

    doesn’t this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever?

    Yes

    How much processing do you do of those forms

    None

    It costs me nothing to have bots spending bandwidth on me because I’m not on a metered connection and electricity is cheap enough that the tiny overhead of processing their requests might amount to a dollar or two per year.

    I am currently watching several malicious crawlers be stuck in a 404 hole I created. Check it out yourself at https://drkt.eu/asdfasd

    I respond to all 404s with a 200 and then serve them that page full of juicy bot targets. A lot of bots can’t get out of it and I’m hoping that the driveby bots that look for login pages simply mark it (because it responded with 200 instead of 404) so a real human has to go and check and waste their time.

    Who are you, Pierre Spray? Of course it siphoned money out of the peoples hands, that’s what America does. That doesn’t mean the plane doesn’t work. Also no, I’m not gonna respond to all 6 of you. You all have the same point.

    You are wrong about the statistics and none of you have owned up to that and the only one who actually went and checked (presumably) when I pointed it out is weaseling his way out of it with disingenuous language instead of just saying the number, because they know that they’d look dumb if if they said less than 30 of over 900 built have crashed and less than half of those were actually a plane malfunction and not operator error or a fucking experimental test frame. It’s easier to say “many crash” than to give a number and leave it up to the reader to interpret whatever that means. It’s also easy to imply that the planes are broken and non-functional two-thirds of the time by implying that basic-ass maintenance standards are somehow a bad thing. There does not exist a fighter jet which does not sit in a hangar or below deck for most of its life. The F35 is more complex than the planes it replaced and is full of exotic materials, so of course it requires more maintenance.

    Please understand that I also hate America- I just base my hatred in factual reality.

    The inevitable collapse of the west is going to come as complete shock to people like you.

    It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

    The writing is on the wall but you are just to smug and self assured to even contemplate it.

    I don’t know what this has to be with the F35 failure rate

    ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

    We’re being fed to the same mulcher, man. You’re not owning class, we’re both gonna die in World War 3.

    It seems like you have a lot of assumptions about me and what I believe
