About
Kudurru is a tool that actively blocks web scrapers from websites by monitoring popular AI datasets and coordinating protection among its network of over a thousand sites. It offers real-time protection by rejecting or misdirecting scraping requests, ensuring websites remain secure from unwanted data extraction. Kudurru's initial implementation is available through a WordPress plugin, making it easy for site owners to join the network and protect their content. The service also offers features like selectable alternative media responses for scraping requests, increasing the possibility of misdirecting models trained on data scraped from its users' sites. Overall, Kudurru serves to defend website owners against scraping while allowing them to manage their digital assets effectively.

FAQs
How does it work?
Kudurru monitors popular AI datasets for scraping behavior and alerts its network to reject or misdirect identified scrapers.
Is rejecting scrapers my only option with Kudurru?
You can select alternative images to mislead scrapers instead of just rejecting requests.
Is the Kudurru network currently active?
Yes, there are over a thousand active websites that are part of the Kudurru network.
I already opted out with Spawning/robots.txt/etc. Why do I need Kudurru?
Opt-outs are insufficient, as many organizations ignore them; Kudurru actively rejects scraping requests.
What hosting platforms are supported?
Currently, the plugin is available for WordPress, with future support planned for other platforms.
Can I choose certain web scrapers to allow?
The current beta rejects all media requests from identified scrapers, but options for educational institutions will soon be available.

Contact us via email for feature requests.
Is Kudurru open source?
The source code for the current beta of the WordPress plugin is available to network members and will be on GitHub before leaving beta.
What happens if scrapers identify members of the Kudurru network?
Scrapers might avoid domains identified as Kudurru members, which is the intention of the tool.
What was the inspiration for Kudurru?
Inspired by the paper on dataset poisoning, Kudurru aims to react to scraping activity in real-time and may engage researchers in the process.
Frequent Misconceptions
