I know a few governments who would be more than happy for github to be disabled.
- JoeCortopassi 14y agoCare to elaborate why GitHub would be a target for a state sponsored DDOS attack? Seems a little far-fetched, for a website that is virtually unknown outside of the developer community
- rcthompson 14y agoIn the broadest sense, github is a site where anyone can upload and publicize any file of reasonable size. Depending on who is uploading what, that could easily make them a target.
- moe 14y agoIn the broadest sense, about 10 million web-forums and similar sites also match your description... Why would they go for github of all things?
- Tipzntrix 14y agoWhile not as famous as Tor in Iran, for example, there are VPN implementations on GitHub, in addition to what rcthompson said.
- Dirlewanger 14y agoThere's some statistic out there somewhere from some paper which found out that like 3 out of every 4 (or something ridiculous like that) cyber attack on the US government comes from China so...it's not that farfetched.
- dbaupp 14y agoI don't quite see how that is relevant to a non-US government entity like GitHub.
