Comment on Self-Hosted JA4 to combat AI botsparent

Comments

I agree JA4 is situational; but the # of use cases is smaller than most people think. Like you said, Captcha works better; would've stopped the credential stuffing. Managed DDoS services (Cloudflare et al) + rate limits are better at DDoS.

Cool ASN project, but doesn't IPInfo already offer this for free: https://ipinfo.io/lite ?

Back in the day I couldn't find a downloadable DB for offline checks, which is very much needed when looking at approx 10k different IPs. Even with an offline DB I might need to create this tree structure so that I can process the data fast.

Fair enough. Great work with the projects!
