The author of the hobby website OpenBenches.org successfully reduced bot traffic by over 80% using a simple trap, dubbed the "Blunt Banhammer". The site was previously transferring over 2.5TB of data monthly, largely due to AI bots crawling and downloading content. The author created a tool inspired by Jeff Starr's Blackhole, which works even with heavy caching, and implemented it using a modified .htaccess file to block basic bots. The solution is described in detail, along with potential issues and alternatives, and has proven effective in significantly reducing unwanted bot traffic to the site.
