I guess if you want to do a DoS attack, send a few bogus DMCA notices to Cloudflare first to get the real IP of the server they're supposed to be protecting. Then you can hammer the server directly without Cloudflare getting in the way.
- chii 3y agoThough you have now left a paper trail leading back to yourself, and leave yourself open to prosecution for computer fraud and such. Not to mention a bogus DMCA takedown which has its own penalties.

- nfriedly 3y ago> Not to mention a bogus DMCA takedown which has its own penalties. Does it? It'd be nice if penalties happened more often to the groups that spam out DMCA takedowns.
