Just in the last few days, I've run across several sites that have implemented something called Anubis:
https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/
At first, I was a bit surprised to see the Anubis wait screen, as I've never encountered this kind of security mechanism before.
However, now that I've seen it several times, I have to ask: why aren't all webdevs using this instead of CAPTCHAs?

I will be very sad if those SHA256 hashes aren't connected to a mining backend!
Had considered building something similar, but using Cryptonite instead of SHA-256.
The problem is that the target customers are "content creator" website owners convinced that only reCAPTCHA stands between them and zombie hordes pouring out of their screens.
These people are truly "low information" decision-makers who wouldn't be puzzled if you billed them for sacrificing a goat to solve a DNS problems.
The best strategy would be a profit-sharing arrangement with cheap website designers.
How knowledgeable are you with regards to coding? Might be worth checking the Anubis Github?
Go, unfortunately, is not a language I have mastered, despite the evangelism of several nostriches :D
I will download and look over it, though, thanks!
Couple ideas:
- Because you still might need a way to filter out bots. Crypto puzzles don't filter out the bots, it just delays them a bit.
- Because there are not many good, maintained solutions.
- Because most devs do not care about being independent from external services such as Google and Hcaptcha 🙈.
P.S. this comes from someone who created an own self-hosted captcha solution ðŸ¤
