Sabot in the Age of AI

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine

The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.

🔻 Nepenthes

A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron

🔻 Quixotic

Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs

A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike

🔻 Django-llm-poison

A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel

🔻 KonterfAI

A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

@KevinFreitas

Question: does this distinguish between AI scraping bots and search bots? Can we assume they are not the same thing?

@aaron @marcusb @mike @asrg @Fingel @rgulick It does. I look through lists of AI bot identifiers and include those. In a future version I’ll set it up so folks can customize this themselves, too.

@KevinFreitas @mike @asrg @marcusb @Fingel @aaron I turned on a hell pot like this for crawlers, and I wanted to give them tons of garbage, but I wasn’t expecting the hosting bill for the data transfer costs. That put an end to my hell pot experiment, real quick. 😉
