Proof that you can take down a service as large and as well connected a Github perhaps.
- jsjohnst 11y agoWhat makes you think Github is "large and well connected"? Don't get me wrong, I love GitHub, but due to their architecture decisions, they aren't anywhere near a great example of best practices in the industry for preventing DDoS attacks.
- JosephRedfern 11y agoMaybe they're unable to take down a service larger or better connected than Github, perhaps?
- nly 11y agoI'm intrigued. What architectural decisions?
- jsjohnst 11y agoOne that would really help with DDoS attacks is if they didn't do everything on github.com. Layer 3 DDoS mitigation will always be cheaper and more effective than Layer 7. If it's not obvious what I mean, here's an example: Current: http://github.com/jsjohnst/project http://github.com/jsjohnst/project One (of many) better approaches: http://jsjohnst.github.com/project http://jsjohnst.github.com/project
