Cool, but as with most of the anti-AI tricks its completely trivial to work around. So you might stop them for a week or two, but they'll add like 3 lines of code to detect this and it'll become useless.

Reflexive contrarianism isn't a good look.

I hate this argument. All cyber security is an arms race. If this helps small site owners stop small bot scrapers, good. Solutions don't need to be perfect.

I worked at a major tech company in 2018 who didn't take security seriously because that was literally their philosophy, just refusing to do anything until it was an absolute perfect security solution, and everything else is wasted resources.

I left since then and I continue to see them on the news for data leaks.

Small brain people man.

Pff, a closed door never stopped a criminal that wants to break in. Our corporate policy is no doors at all. Takes less time to get where you need to go, so our employees don't waste precious seconds they could instead be using to generate profits.

So many companies let perfect become the enemy of good and it's insane. Recently some discussion about trying to get our team to use a consistent formatting scheme devolved into this type of thing. If the thing being proposed is better than what we currently have, let's implement it as is then if you have concerns about ways to make it better let's address those later in another iteration.

I bet someone like cloudflare could bounce them around traps across multiple domains under their DNS and make it harder to detect the trap.

To some extent that's true, but anyone who builds network software of any kind without timeouts defined is not very good at their job. If this traps anything, it wasn't good to begin with, AI aside.

Leave your doors unlocked at home then. If your lock stops anyone, they weren't good thieves to begin with. 🙄

I believe you misread their comment. They are saying if you leave your doors unlocked your part of the problem. Because these ai lock picks only look for open doors or they know how to skip locked doors

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They said this tool is useless because of how trivial it is to work around.

My apologies, i thought your reply was against @Xartle s comment.

They basically said the addition protection is not necessary because common security measures cover it.
