It certainly _feels_ like an organized riot, but I'm not 100% sure that it is. In a riot, there are organizers and instigators, and then there is a mob who follows them. Here, I'm not really sure that the organizers exist: the clo

Whether or not it is market manipulation, who do you think the SEC could realistically go after here?

Assuming you're correct and this behaviour is illegal, who could the SEC prosecute? The ultimate instigator, u/deepfuckingvalue, posts nothing but screenshots showing his position, without further comment. There don't appear

Replying to my own comment: I see that GitLab are actually offering a pretty generous transition deal for existing Bronze customers with less than 25 customers ($6/$9/$15 in yr 1/2/3). Honestly that is enough to retain

Does it matter? GitHub are the inevitable winners of any race to the bottom. GitLab would be better off trying to retain actual paying customers like me, instead of encouraging me to read https://docs.github.com/en/acti

I see Gitlab's point about all the extra features they have built, but the problem for me is that I just don't need them. What I do need is a reliable remote git repo, a container registry, a CI system, and about 2500-5000 CI mi

AWS's model seems to be to take a popular OSS product, do _just_ enough to make it work with AWS, make tons of money out of it, contribute a minimal amount back... and then act all surprised when they're painted as the bad guys. T

I think "if you want to see how British people thought about class fifty years ago" might be more accurate. There are still strong echoes, but the overall dynamics are different today. Take Tony (a participant in Up) and look at h

With any large-scale scan dataset like this, noise is inevitable. Legitimate use of HTTP/0.9 in consumer-facing web servers is exceptionally unlikely, but there are all sorts of scenarios which could have led HTTP/0.9 responses to

Expensify's CEO really does send out these exceptionally long and conversational marketing emails, apparently to anyone who ever used (or was required to use) their app. It's a somewhat charming approach in its own way, but the em

I would guess that is a little bit of journalistic summarization, and what the author means is that the IPs used in the attack had a reasonable reputation. That's what made me wonder whether they were talking about residential proxies.

Thanks! I was so sure this just _couldn't_ be PowerPoint that I didn't even bother to check. I suppose the lesson here is that talent matters more than the tool.

It might , but in a very high proportion of cases the networking stack takes the happy path and a single logical protocol unit translates directly to a single packet on the wire. That being the practical reality, it's quite possible t

Agreed. I'm labouring the point because a lot of comments here are waving this away as a one-line stateless change ("just check the fragmentation offset is zero"), when in fact it might mean switching from a completely statel

There are two different mechanisms of interest here: IP fragmentation (IP packets get broken up into smaller chunks, because intermediate networks have an MTU which is too large to allow them to pass) and TCP segmentation (the TCP stack bre

The attack relies on the ALG ignoring the IP fragment offset in the UDP case only. In the TCP case, he's splitting up packets by forcing a smaller MSS rather than by relying on IP fragmentation. The IP fragment offset for the attack pa
