I Tested an Open-Source Anti-Bot Firewall (Anubis) Against Requests, AsyncIO, Selenium, and Playwright

说明与用途

作者使用 Requests、aiohttp、Selenium 和 Playwright 测试 Anubis。所有请求均返回 200 OK，表明配置保守或流量不足以触发防护。

问题

Assess how Anubis, an open‑source anti‑bot firewall, handles common scraping tools and browser automation.

结果

All automated requests succeeded with 200 OK, suggesting Anubis did not enforce challenges under the tested conditions. Possible explanations include conservative configuration, insufficient traffic volume, or missing enforcement thresholds.

工作流

• Identify publicly accessible sites running Anubis
• Perform 20 sequential Requests calls and record status
• Run 100 concurrent aiohttp requests and record status
• Launch Selenium and access the site, observe response
• Run Playwright and Playwright MCP, observe responses
• Analyze results and hypothesize reasons for lack of blocking
