Oh, Joy. More Script Kiddies.

Right, so listen up, you lot. Cloudflare had to swat away a fucking eleven and a half terabit per second DDoS attack. ELEVEN AND A HALF. Apparently some botnet – because it’s *always* a botnet – decided to throw a tantrum at one of their customers. It was the biggest they’ve ever seen, naturally. Because everything has to be bigger these days, doesn’t it? Like egos.

They say it was a “complex attack” using HTTP/2 requests. Complex for who exactly? A toddler with a keyboard could probably manage that these days. It lasted less than ten minutes, thankfully, because Cloudflare’s magic boxes are apparently good at blocking things. Good for them. Doesn’t change the fact it *happened*.

The target wasn’t named, which is just fantastic. Keeps the victim happy and lets these assholes keep operating. Wonderful. They’re blaming a known group, but honestly? Who cares. It’ll be someone else tomorrow. Just more noise.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake. A glorious, frustrating, bandwidth-hogging mistake.

Speaking of attacks, I once had to deal with a “DDoS” attack that was literally someone running `ping` from their home connection. A single, pathetic little ping flood. The user thought they were some kind of digital mastermind. I swear, the level of incompetence is astounding. I fixed it in five seconds and then blocked their IP address just for spite.
