- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoWhat is the win for a group to organize this? Is it an advertisement of capabilities to be sold? Training exercise? Or is it so trivial to accomplish that a dedicated troll does it for the lulz? Given modern hardware I am flabbergasted at how often sites get hammered from legitimate traffic.
- jslakro 3y agoApparently some DDoS attacks are not cheap to accomplish because they need to use botnets, the more devices involved, the more money is needed.
- jslakro 3y agoRegarding the win, they are asking for $5000 https://twitter.com/emi_cpl/status/1745193283620372788?t=xTugCjk8SL5D_Cn-lNsEaQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/emi_cpl/status/1745193283620372788?t=xTu...

- darkwater 3y agoDoesn't look like a DDoS according to the attacker's email, but rather a DoS / p0wning. Anyway looks like it's working again.
- okanat 3y agoIs there a trend of testing DDoS methods on FOSS websites now? Blender also had a DDoS attack in the last months.
- gumballindie 3y agoProbably these are easier to attack since they have less resources available to invest in infrastructure, but still have a harmful impact.
- mrd3v0 3y agoNot to mention they tend to avoid using CDNs, which alongside lack of free accessible CAPTCHA software, remain to be issues no one in FOSS circles seems to be concerned about.
- glonq 3y agoEasy targets, I guess. Gotta be tougher to expect any $$$ out of them, though!
