Its new bot fight mode, which Cloudflare today enabled as a free opt-in feature for all accounts, will detect and serve bots with deliberately computationally intensive challenges. As the bot tries to crunch the impossible puzzle effectively a small bit of code only visible to the bot the bots server will max out its processing power, churning up cloud resources and driving up costs for the bot operator.

I think they should have just made it opt-out instead of opt-in if they were serious about combating malicious bots. Kinda nice to see though. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
