- Rapzid 10y agoOh wow, thanks! I hadn't noticed that yet :| So many caveats to this thing. Look like I'd need to pony up >1k/mo on top of 3k to get access to the service then...
- toomuchtodo 10y agoAWS is not the place to be if you're on a budget
- RhodesianHunter 10y agoHow often are people on a budget the target of serious ddos attacks?
- water42 10y agoThe government
- stcredzero 10y agoA better question would be, "How often are people on a budget the target of a budget DDOS attack?" I think we've long since entered the era where DDOS attacks don't have to be "serious" to be massive.
- derefr 10y agoPretty often, especially in the realm of journalism (Wikileaks et al) and especially in network-security journalism. (Imagine writing exposés about botnet-owners. Imagine what kind of DDoS results from that.)
- Eldt 10y agoA lot of game servers (eg Minecraft) get DDoSed by competitor servers or players as revenge
- comex 10y agoMore generally: I think a decent fraction of the people who think DDoSing is an appropriate way to deal with personal vendettas are kids. The targets of kids' vendettas are often also kids. Kids tend to have low budgets. (The budget required to launch a DDoS, through one of the many commercial websites that sell them, is pretty low.)
- dsmithatx 10y agoSee above, business level support 24/7 with phones is $100/month.
- Rapzid 10y agoFor people paying less than 1k on their bill, or am I missing something? I feel pretty confident in the layout I... Laid out.
- carterehsmith 10y agoHmmm, reading further, there is a 12-month commitment on the $3,000/month plan. So if you get hit by DDOS, you can't just pay $3,000 and hope that DDOS is gone within a month. Looks like you have to sign up for a year's worth of protection.
