Multi-day DDoS storm batters Internet Archive
Think this is bad? See what Big Media wants to do to us, warns founder

Which pathetic limp dick asshat is attacking the internet archive?
Fucking spend the time to attack a company that deserves it.
The companies that deserves it....
Nestle and Meta would be a wonderful start.
I think they're responding to your question. The companies that deserve it are probably the ones behind the attack.
Right? Even from a purely selfish perspective, this is unwarranted and wanton whereas if you go after a company you can make money.
For all we know, could be some fat teenager doing it for the "lulz" or just "winning" by owning them libs.
That would be very difficult though for a site as large as the Internet Archive. They will most definitely have intricate defense strategies and lots of bandwidth. Cannot really imagine a teenager to be capable of that unless their parents are billionaires.
Have you seen how slow their site is normally? Just request loads of obscure random pages and it will just eat their IO.
Throw some standard ddos on top to obscure things and your good? (Bad)
Edit: I know nothing about their storage, so I may be wrong. It just feels like they are held together with spit and prayers at the best of times.
Lol, even the "own the lib" types I'm hard pressed to believe would do this. Alot of them probably benefit from IA in that they often pull stuff from there for their smear or attack campaigns.
