That's a fairly neat attack, to be fair to them. I don't see why Github, upon receiving these requests, wouldn't just do the same back to China and absolutely hammer some of their resources in return?
- rmc 12y agoProbably because the Chinese government has more ability to absorb these requests.

- borgia 12y ago>While Github is receiving a fair percentage of Baidu's traffic, though... Yeah that's my thinking on it. They're being handed traffic, or more correctly having it thrown at them maliciously, which they could in turn redirect back at some point in the Chinese infrastructure.
