  This is hilarious! How is that possible? it looks like coordinated large scale actions on a network -- but I'm no expert and I have no idea what I'm looking at really. What's going on here?

    They are announcing and withdrawing different prefixes at different times

  How did they avoid getting dampened with all that flapping though? This is the most meta crop circle level hackery ever. Where do I send my hat?
  • andrewnyr 5y ago
    The withdrawals happen about 3ish days after announcement... this isn't flapping imo.
    • jaywalk 5y ago
      The smallest "pixels" are 8 hours long, but that's still long enough to not be considered flapping.

  This seemed to happen back in 2017. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14621347 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14621347 (105 comments) https://hn.algolia.com/?q=AS15562 https://hn.algolia.com/?q=AS15562

  This looks like pretty clear evidence of wasting IP addresses to me...
  • halfdeadcat 5y ago
    Not wasting. They are obviously unused blocks allocated to them.

  If I load the RIPE WHOIS for this AS, I really hope there's a link to the youtube video of nyancat in the free-form text description field entered by the people running the AS...
