Codeberg, a code hosting community in Berlin, is facing challenges from a surge of AI bots that can bypass its defenses, particularly the Anubis bot tarpit. While Anubis had previously been effective in deterring these crawlers, they have now learned to overcome its challenges, leading to significant site slowness akin to a denial of service attack. Some bots are linked to networks operated by Huawei, raising further concerns. Despite criticism from some community members, Codeberg plans to continue using Anubis while considering other software options like Iocaine.
Codeberg is experiencing a surge of AI bot activity that is overwhelming their defenses, particularly with the tool Anubis failing to deter these crawlers effectively.
These AI bots are functioning like a denial of service attack, causing significant slowness for users and resultantly posing a challenge to the community.
Some of the bots have been traced back to networks operated by Huawei, raising concerns about the origins of this disruptive activity.
Calls to reevaluate the efficacy of tools like Anubis have emerged, emphasizing the ethical concerns regarding the impact of such security measures on computer resources.
