Lmao yeah no. I don't think a little argon2 is going to change shit all.
I mean the thesis of Anubis itself is "scrappers are compute limited (in ways that consumer devices are not)" which has its own massive flaws.
- lxgr 28d agoYes, I also strongly suspect that this is only going to move more parts of scrapers onto consumer devices. The egress proxies are already there, why not use a little bit of the compute as well?
- fwip 28d agoWhen you force a low end device to burn CPU or fill ram constantly, the owner throws it out and buys a new one.
- bakugo 28d agoHaha, no. The average tech illiterate person tolerates a LOT when it comes to bad performance on low end devices.
- fwip 27d agoThe malware already results in noticeable slowdown just running the scraper. Solving anubis challenges is significantly more difficult than simply requesting the page, so it is not feasible on-device without making the device totally unusable.
- mattstir 27d agoThat's just not possible in many parts of the world.
- Jtariiiii 28d agoThe goal isn't to eliminate scrapers, its to prevent a distributed scraping network from requesting 10000 pages a second each from 10000 different websites.
