Miasma is a Rust-based open source tool that traps AI web scrapers in an endless loop of poisoned training data. By embedding hidden links on your site pointing to a Miasma server, scrapers are lured in and fed garbage content alongside self-referential links, keeping them occupied indefinitely. The setup involves running the Miasma binary, configuring an Nginx reverse proxy to route scraper traffic to it, and protecting legitimate bots via robots.txt. It is designed to be fast and memory-efficient, with configurable options for port, max in-flight connections, link count, and gzip compression.
