Can someone explain how this works? Surely the bots are still hitting the pages they were hitting before but now they also hit the garbage pages too?

- wodenokoto 11mo agoIn authors setup, sending Markova generated garbage is much lighter on resources than sending static pages. Only bots will continue to follow links to the next piece of garbage and thus he traps bots in garbage. No need to detect bots, they reveal themselves. But yes, all bots start out on an actual page.

- liqilin1567 11mo agoSeems like these garbage pages can't trap bots. People discussed it in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45711987 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45711987
- blackhaj7 11mo agoAh, it is explained in another post - https://maurycyz.com/projects/trap_bots/ https://maurycyz.com/projects/trap_bots/ Clever
