- bombcar 3y agoIt’s just doing hash math (think like bitcoin mining) to make your CPU burn enough processing time to make a layer seven DDoS not worthwhile. It works. Because now the server uses way less processing time than the client did.

The gathered data is then sent back to cloudflare, and you either get an access cookie (cf_clearance) back, or not.
