Anubis Pilot Project Report – June 2025

  For the catalog application, bot traffic sharply increased Fri, May 30 and essentially knocked the catalog out of service until Anubis could be applied on Tue, Jun 3. At the apex on Jun 1:
  3.4 million HTTP requests (about 40/sec) were made by 2.1 million unique IPs (avg 1.65 per IP).

So are these zombie networks? Why can't they be shut down somehow? Like name and shame their IPs and mac addresses, or throw these off of the internet, instead of the websites that cloudflare's boss disagrees with.
