I'm using #Anubis to protect our Forgejo instance from scrapper #bots, but it doesn't seem to be enough for "classic" malicious scanners that try thousands of paths looking for vulnerabilities.
Granted, presenting a challenge increases the cost for the malicious scanners, but at some point I'd like a smarter tool that detects what's happening and blocks any further attempt.
Does anyone know about good solutions for this? I'm sure there must be something out there, I'm just ignorant about it.
