The 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);
- jojomodding 7mo ago> If you need to be on the site it’s not a botnet Why? I did not visit the site to participate in a DoS attack; yet my machine was coaxed into participating against my will. Whether this is happening in JS or a drive-by download or a browser 0-day is irrelevant.
- croes 7mo agoYou did participate in archive.today’s DDoS without visiting the site? How if it‘s JS code in the site?
