WebAssembly is not exactly what I had in mind when hearing "non-JS"...
- adrianmalacoda 1y agoThe non-JS challenge[0] mentioned in the blog post is one based on HTTP meta refresh. The (hypothetical) WebAssembly challenge is proposed as an improvement on the existing JS proof-of-work challenge[1]. 0: https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/metarefresh https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challeng... 1: https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/proof-of-work https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challeng...
- ranger_danger 1y agoYes but without JS (or wasm), the meta refresh option can't actually do any work, right? I mean, parsing a meta refresh tag is not exactly rocket science... aren't most scrapers already headless browsers anyway? I know I have seen several big proxy providers offering that as a service to defeat cloudflare.
