That sounds interesting! How were these built? In the same Arc language? Any chance this can be open sourced?
- dang 6y agoIn Arc, yes. Unfortunately not, because we don't know how to write anti-abuse systems that keep working once people know what they are.
- dwd 6y agoUnfortunate but very true; it's always interesting to see what other people have in their bag of tricks - but a magician should never tell. I would guess that you have rules based on patterns of observed behaviour, and that they do 80-90% of the effective blocking.
- part1of2 6y agoI get it, thanks. Instead, Could you write about them, rather than the code? I'm picturing lessons learned, don't try ABC it's a waste of time, and so on..
- webmaven 6y agoI'd actually like to see a series of 'lessons learned', or 'things we tried that didn't work' (including code, if possible/prudent).
