"Read-only" pages are still fertile ground for layer 7 DDOS.
- kristofferR 11y agoIt wouldn't be hard to only display the captchas if sudden increased traffic from Tor exits indicated that a DDOS through Tor was in action.
- ultramancool 11y agoNot only that but you could only display CAPTCHAs on the actual target of the DDoS.
- throwaway-10439 11y agoThe Tor egress bandwidth is sufficiently small and sparsely located that this wouldn't be an issue for a CDN.
- seabee 11y agoIt remains an issue for the origin server if the DDoS targets uncacheable content.
