- mcherm 8y agoCausing a crash is an excellent vector for a denial-of-service attack.
- alexeiz 8y agoIf you can make your service allocate 10G of memory, it's already a denial of service attack.
- vbezhenar 8y agoUsually unexpected exception results in a HTTP 500 response (or something similar) and few lines in the log. It does not result in stopped server.
- ryeguy 8y agoIt's an exception, not a crash.
