DDoS protection by CloudFlare
...um, no!
- raverbashing 10y agoI don't see why Cloudflare would require JS to be on
- cmdrfred 10y agoSomething like hashcash?
- lolidaisuki 10y agoTo fingerprint the visitors.
- kuschku 10y agoEDIT: Why did someone flag this? This is literally what CloudFlare said they do – they fingerprint your browser, to track you, and find out if you are a bot DDoSing them – or if you have a normal browsing behaviour. For that to work they need to fingerprint and track you. Which is why they said they block users with NoScript or on TOR.
- Ambroos 10y agoIt's what they use to try and detect if your browser is a real browser, not a fake one. Which is very hard to determine without Javascript.
- raverbashing 10y agoIt looks like an important goal Maybe they can do it better and not turn people without JS away (at least while accesses are at a regular level)
- jjawssd 10y agoCloudflare surreptitiously injects its own Javascript into pages it serves, including NSA malware.
- vox_mollis 10y agoSomething tells me Matt Prince would sooner shut down CF than bow to NSA demands.
