@hugh-mungus @Alice never said anything hateful towards you. Quote me literally anything she said that would qualify as hate.

@hugh-mungus this is a community. Not a place to hate on each other.

Using proper English grammar is for kids...

The left one was actually a mockup some guy on Reddit made to copy the avengers poster

@Kodeus the cache sends a different request that is bigger I believe? I'm not an expert on this, so I might be wrong. Basically, the ddoser sends a simple request to get a file from the cache server, then the cache server makes a new request, with a lot more data, to github

@Kodeus in this case they apparently didn't use a botnet I think? They pinged some cache servers or something from spoofed ip addresses. The request to the cache servers was small, but then the cache servers sent a request to GitHub that was very large, so it amplified the attacker's computing power. Usually though, a bigger botnet means more computing power and a higher gb/s

@Kryptic0 yeah exactly. I think the max capacity of the ddos handlers is around 10tb/s, like 7 times what this ddos was

@incognito they rerouted their traffic within 10 mins to an anti-ddos server that filtered out the bad requests. Normal traffic could still go through, but the ddos traffic was stopped by the anti-ddos. Handled very well and the ddos stopped after 13 minutes I think.

@jhh2450 Nice!

@jhh2450 Yeah hopefully. I think I heard the attorney general of NY is suing the FCC about it.

@heyheni Haha. For real though, any suggestions?
