Miasma
Trap AI web crawlers in an endless poison pit
Expert verdict
Ship
3-0The Panel's Take
Miasma is an open-source tool that creates honeypot pages designed to trap AI web scrapers in infinite loops of generated nonsense content. It poisons training data by serving plausible-looking but entirely fabricated text, wasting crawler resources and degrading the quality of scraped datasets.

“Dead simple to deploy — drop it on any server and point suspicious crawlers at it. The infinite page generation is clever engineering. My only gripe is it needs better bot fingerprinting out of the box, but the plugin system lets you extend it.”
“Look, the AI scraping arms race is real and site owners need tools to fight back. Miasma is not going to stop OpenAI, but it will waste their compute and pollute their pipelines. That is genuinely useful leverage. Just do not expect it to be a silver bullet.”
“This is the digital equivalent of booby-trapping your property. As AI companies hoover up the entire web without consent, tools like Miasma shift the power dynamic back toward content creators. Expect to see this pattern everywhere within a year.”
