Yes name was anubis backwards and thats the only resemblance between the 2 projects and also I used anubis, safeline for benchmarks compparison. Each of the design records are in the repo if you want to see the evolution and algorithms used.
Its not a rewrite and is more inspired by https://github.com/chaitin/safeline. Wanted a web interface and a distributed waf similar to cloudflare as an alternative. It supports OWASP CRS, J4A TLS trrmination handling. Comes with console-ui and also the proof of work used a different algorithm which is proven to be resistant to quantum attacks.
