This is the same idea as in the article, just an alternative flavor of generating the zip bomb. And I actually only serve this to exploit scanners, not LLM crawlers. I've run a lot of websites for a long time, and I've never seen

Neat approach. I make my anti-crawler HTML zip bombs like this: (echo '<html><head></head><body>' && yes "<div>") | dd bs=1M count=10240 iflag=fullblock | gzip > bomb.h

What makes it so much faster? Were there a few particular big wins or is it just tons of small optimizations? If it's faster, fully API compatible, and maintains all the same guarantees, why isn't the implementation being upstream

Cloudflare and similar services seem well positioned to take advantage of this. Analyze the most common responses of a website on their platform, build an efficient dictionary from that data, and then automatically inject a link to that sit

The danger with this is that you might change your mind about what matters later in life, only to find that you've long since "purged" it.
