How will this stop a bot that has embedded browser in it? For the bot is just a thread that will wait on "cloudflare verification" to happen. Not that hard to bypass
- Kiro 6y agoIt will cost server resources for the attacker. It's not just waiting, it needs to actually solve the problem.
- luckylion 6y agoUnless you make it very expensive (which would turn legitimate users away, because they don't want to wait for a minute to sign up), that won't help, I think. You tie up a core for 5 seconds, but the server has 12 of those, so they can create 12 accounts every 5 seconds => still too much to handle in moderation.
- zaarn 6y agoIt's 12 accounts per second instead of 600 per second if it only takes 1 second. Or 1200 if it takes half a second. That is still an improvement.
