The reasoning is here, from 2024 https://blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-Support-Plans/ The timeline in the original article seems very reasonable to me. They go out of their way to avoid breakages.

I absolutely don't understand what it does from the website. (And there is way too much focus on "agents" on the front page for my tastes, but I guess it's 2025) edit: all the docs are about "agents"; I don

As I wrote elsewhere; they subcontract the bot protection to F5, an external company that I see for some reason a lot on old/horrible banking websites.

TS seems to be short for TrafficShield (a product of some company F5 acquired in early 2000s) and PD seems to be Proactive Defense (?)

It's coming from a F5 script, which is a company that sells anti-bot protection amid other things. (It's coming from obfuscated script at /TSPD, which is a F5 thing.) https://www.f5.com/

is this "avunit" someone from the reporting team? it seems created few hours ago, and it's using 8.8.8.8 which does not timeout as they claim; and the crux of the attack there is just that local UDP is faster than remote UDP

so the special characters are a red herring? and all they are doing is sending UDP responses locally faster than the recursive resolver? I cannot believe this is true because that would be too dumb edit: I don't see how is the avunit g

Better solution that doesn't rely on DNSSEC is use stub resolver that can forward requests on DoH; like unbound or dnsdist. dnsmasq cannot do this and just forwards UDP to UDP and TCP to TCP. (and doesn't know DoT or DoH) DoH (and

google's dns resolver 8.8.8.8 correctly resolves the "special character" domains btw; so if you have 8.8.8.8 as your recursive resolver in dnsmasq, this doesn't seem to be an issue.

How can this work? What is "DNS tricks"? DNS is just telling you where the site is? edit: ah it spoofs the EDNS subnet for the DNS request, so it gives you server "intended" for a different location. You will get slower

I would guess a WordPress plugin or something. 20 million is a lot, but if you look at geoip, they are around the whole world; I took 3 random latest IPs and I saw Vietnam, Brazil and Angola. So it's not that much when it's worldw

Ah. I didn't know there is UK GDPR and UK cookie law! (cookie law is not related to GDPR? or is? I donno) What was the point of brexit if you keep the annoying parts of EU? But, whatever.

Yeah, this is sensible. I also want to add that there are large industries that LOVE Microsoft and LOVE the Azure/365 vendor lock-in. This corporate merger might be added value to those customers. (Azure has their own github called Azu

Because the original hacker is selling the firmware for 1000 USD on dark web marketplaces. It's literally being sold on dark web. People call everything "dark web" but this time it's correct.
