Quick question but do these bots which you mention are from a 24H period but how long will this "attack" continue for?
Because this is something which is happening continuously & i have observed so many HN posts like these (Anubis iirc was created by its creator out of such frustration too). Git servers being scraped to the point of its effectively an DDOS.
- mzajc 8mo agoYes, the attack is continuous. The rate fluctuates a lot, even within a day. It's definitely an anomaly, because eg. from 2025-08-15 to 2025-10-05 I saw zero days with more than 10k requests. Here's a histogram of the past 2 weeks plus today. 2026-01-28 21'460 2026-01-29 27'770 2026-01-30 53'886 2026-01-31 100'114 # 2026-02-01 132'460 # 2026-02-02 73'933 2026-02-03 540'176 ##### 2026-02-04 999'464 ######### 2026-02-05 134'144 # 2026-02-06 1'432'538 ############## 2026-02-07 3'864'825 ###################################### 2026-02-08 3'732'272 ##################################### 2026-02-09 2'088'240 #################### 2026-02-10 573'111 ##### 2026-02-11 1'804'222 ##################
- Imustaskforhelp 8mo agoThanks for sharing the data, This unpredictability and everything is even more suspicious. Thoughts on having an ssh server with https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve instead?
- bcrl 8mo agoIt's plausible that the AI companies have given up storing data for training runs and just stream it off the Internet directly now. It's probably cheaper to stream than buying more SSDs and HDDs from a supply constrained supply chain at this point.
- longor1996 8mo agoThat this is a plausible explanation is... beyond horrifying to me.
