Iocaine is an open-source defensive tool (named after the poison in The Princess Bride) that sits in front of web servers and serves AI crawlers garbage data while remaining invisible to legitimate human visitors. It uses lightweight, programmable bot-detection scripts to identify crawlers, then poisons their training data collection with nonsense, aiming to make crawling more expensive for bots while consuming minimal server resources itself.
