Which means any legit http2 connection will go just fine.
Even if such connection now triggers hundreds of substreams.
Push for end to end encrypted internet also means you can't really stop any more advanced attack. You could have just few dozen of hosts doing 20-30 connections each (i.e. "looking perfectly normal" for DDoS protection provider) generating tens of thousands per second in http2 streams.
I'm speaking from experience of mitigating attack like this. Our DDoS provider was near-useless..
- bombcar 3y agoFor the higher layer attacks you have to have something like the "modified cryptominer in the browser" things that cloud flare and friends do now - those interstitial pages that pop up for a few seconds are doing mathematical hashing to burn processor time on your end - which greatly complicates the ability to DDoS.
