Protection

Three layers of defense

The Ward deploys a layered approach — stopping bots before they scrape, detecting those that get through, and trapping those that won't quit.

🔒

Crawler Blocking

robots.txt hardening and comprehensive deny lists for known AI agents.

  • ✕ GPTBot
  • ✕ ClaudeBot
  • ✕ CCBot
  • ✕ PerplexityBot
  • ✕ Applebot
  • ✕ OAI-SearchBot
🛡️

Header Hardening

Security headers that cut off fingerprinting, reduce referrer leakage, and enforce rate limits.

  • + Content-Security-Policy
  • + X-Robots-Tag
  • + Referrer-Policy
  • + Permissions-Policy
  • + Rate limiting rules
🪤

Honeypot & Detection

Hidden trap links catch bots that ignore robots.txt. Detection logging and exposure alerts keep you informed.

  • → Invisible trap links
  • → Bot access logging
  • → Email exposure alerts
  • → IP blocklist export
