Hit it offline with a denial of service attack.
- zethraeus 9y agoWelcome to the dark web. It's terrible here.
- jstanley 9y agoNote that since the phishing site proxies requests to the legit site, this also has a high risk of knocking the legit site offline.
- PhisherPrice 9y agoMaybe with a layer 7 attack, but not with a layer 3 attack. The author also described the difference between the proxy request and a legit request, so he can just block the proxy requests. Try using slowhttptest. You don't even need a botnet.
- sp332 9y agoI think the article described a different response, but not a different request? Anyway they mentioned that some requests were cached, so you could request a cached object to avoid hitting the original host, if you wanted a level-7 attack.
- driverdan 9y agoThe seemingly easy way to DoS it would be to hit pages with Bitcoin addresses. You could even setup a hidden static page with hundreds or thousands of addresses and call it through that proxy. No load on the legit server but heavy load on the rogue proxy.
