Oh I absolutely agree. Which is why I specified that it should be an open source project. And I wasn’t thinking so much server side code to protect against DDoS but orchestration scripts and test suites to help create some form of redundancy offering some level of resilience.
- richardwhiuk 9y agoThe source code is relatively uninteresting. The power of cloudflare is in having the servers.....
- Kalium 9y agorichardwhiuk completely nailed it. Orchestration scripts and test suites are of minimal value here. They already exist for pretty much every configuration you might need, and already in open source ways. Open sourcing the tools is of very little value in meeting the needs of a site like SciHub in protecting itself from DDoS attacks. What's actually needed is servers and bandwidth. Which is to say your heart is in the right place. You have the right ideas, and it's wonderful how much you care! It's just possible that the need at hand might be other than a maximal fit for your skills. I hope this conversation has been as educational for you as it has for me, and thank you for the opportunity to engage!
