I have a static website at https://alexandreviau.net/ https://alexandreviau.net/. It sits behind AWS CloudFront. Good luck taking it down.
- wild_preference 8y agoIt will DDoS your wallet with CloudFront charges which is even worse. They just need to hit you over a longer time scale and avoid making obvious peaks so that you can’t ask for the DDoS refund.
- williamdclt 8y agoThat's not what the parent said, they just said that the only thing that can take down GNU.org is DDoS
- rbanffy 8y agoIt's not simpler - quite the contrary. Dynamic sites can be taken down by a number of different attacks. Static sites are a much harder target.
