Striking Back
VENOM detects, enforces, and rate‑limits against AI crawlers that ignore stated preferences — while keeping real users fast and unblocked.
- Zero‑code edge
Drop‑in at CDN / proxy - Bot precision
Multi‑signal fingerprinting + policies - Human‑first
Latency budget preserved - Opt‑out enforcement
Respects stated preferences
Why VENOM
AI crawlers are harvesting your content and models without consent or compensation. VENOM gives you control. Define who can crawl, how fast, and what they see — including opt‑out enforcement that respects stated preferences.
How it works
Fingerprint, decide, and enforce at the edge — fast, precise, and configurable.
Fingerprint
Combine headers, TLS, behavior, and IP intel to identify AI crawlers and stealth clients.
Decide
Policy engine selects allow, rate‑limit, block, or protective response per agent and path.
Enforce
Apply at CDN/proxy so bots are stopped before they touch your app or APIs.
Join the movement
Publish your preferences (robots.txt / ai.txt). Together, sites using Venom can help detect and challenge model training that ignores stated opt‑outs.
Features
Controls that meet crawlers where they are — and keep humans first.
Blocklists & heuristics
Known AI crawlers, rotating UAs, and stealth patterns updated continuously.
Rate limiting
Adaptive token buckets by agent, path, or account to protect resources.
Protective responses
Opt‑out enforcement and watermarking to discourage unauthorized reuse.
Edge‑native
Runs at CDN or reverse proxy to stop bots before they touch your app.
