一句话看懂
Anubis v1.27.0 ships WebAssembly-based proof of work checks after a year of work.
The update aims to block bots on websites without annoying human users.
背景
Anubis is an open-source tool that uses proof-of-work challenges to block bots from accessing websites, often depicted as an anime girl. The developer spent a year implementing WebAssembly support, involving hundreds of commits, multiple pull request generations, and rewriting parts in Rust. This release replaces the previous JavaScript-based challenges with WebAssembly, aiming to improve performance and user experience.
