It is academically very interesting to think about this in light of their long-standing dispute with Cloudflare (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/18227 https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/182...) over EDNS, which could have privacy implications attached.
I think no matter how you slice it though, it's unethical and reprehensible to coordinate (even a shoddy) DDoS leveraging your visitors as middlemen. This is effectively coordinating a botnet, and we shouldn't condone this behavior as a community.
- qmarchi 8mo agoIt's definitely interesting to see this roll around since the only individuals that see the CAPCHA page mentioned, are users of Cloudflare's DNS services (knowingly or not). P.S. Shout-out to dang for dropping the flags. I have a small suspicion that their may be some foul play, given the contents...
- greyface- 8mo ago> the only individuals that see the CAPCHA page mentioned, are users of Cloudflare's DNS services I don't think this is true. I run my own recursive DNS resolver, and get a CAPTCHA when visiting archive.today.
- k33l0r 8mo agoI use my ISP's default DNS servers and have consistently gotten the CAPTCHA page for weeks now. The CAPTCHA seems to be broken too, rendering archive.today entirely inaccessible.
- Hamuko 8mo agoSomeone has suggested that CAPTCHA is broken for everyone in Finland.
- cluckindan 8mo agoNot surprising considering the service is operated by Russia.
- Zanfa 8mo agoSeems to be the case in Estonia as well.
- mhitza 8mo agoI see the captcha all the time for the Tor onion website as well.
