True, but not relevant.
- croes 7mo agoRelevant because Cloudflare manipulated the DNS using a false reasoning
- cuu508 7mo ago1.1.1.2 blocks malware, and archive.today performs DDOS. Where's the false reasoning?
- croes 7mo agoIt‘s not a C&C/Botnet
- cuu508 7mo agoIt is C&C -- it instructs their site visitors to DOS a specific site.
- croes 7mo agoA C&C controls a botnet, where is the botnet?
- cuu508 7mo agoThe browsers of their site visitors.
- croes 7mo agoIf you need to be on the site it’s not a botnet and there is no C&C server coordinating the attack. It‘s just the JS on the site that makes the attack.

- Hamuko 7mo agoDoes this mean that the Great Cannon of China is not a botnet because it stops working when you close your browser?
- croes 7mo agoDoes the Great Cannon of China coordinate the attacks? Does archive.today? Hijacking a software like the browser is something completely different to a simple JS on a website.
- Hamuko 7mo ago>Does the Great Cannon of China coordinate the attacks? Yes. >Does archive.today? Yes.
- croes 7mo agoHow does archive.today coordinate the attack?
- fastball 7mo agoBy telling visitor browsers to DoS the site.
- croes 7mo agoThat’s not really coordinating. It’s just a website with a simple request loop, not C&C server tells when the attacks have to happen. This doesn’t make your browser a bot setInterval(function() { fetch("https://gyrovague.com/?s=" + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 3 + Math.random() * 8), { referrerPolicy: "no-referrer", mode: "no-cors" }); }, 300);
- zahlman 7mo agoBy this logic, all malicious JavaScript (obvious example is cryptominers I guess, assuming no JS sandbox escape) is C&C, yeah? As it "instructs site visitors" to do something harmful locally?
