@corq #ClownFlare isn't good at it, they just have too much network to wield.
what it’s all about? in the internet, not all IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes will be sources or destinations of traffic you’d like to have anything common with. some of them will be used or controlled by bad actors that can try to compromise your network (you have been likely selected at random, do not flatter yourself) or other evil goals. why would you like to receive that traffic? or send traffic towards them?
@X00001 granted for something like this there's #Blackholing at the #IX level as an option.
@jherazob @leberschnitzel they already exist...
I think it's bad #TechPopulism to think that #Anubis will fix all the issues.
Just block all the #GAFAMs ASNs & #hosters that host #Scrapers so the industry cracks down harder on them than on #IRC, #Tor #ExitNodes, #CSAM & #BitTorrent combined!
@[email protected] what we should do is *literally* [block](https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/scrapers.ipv4.block.list.tsv) all the #scapers network-wide (as per IP block allocation) and #DROP all traffic to/from them, because #Anubis requiring #JavaScript makes it #ableist and bricking #TUI browsers like #LynxBrowser... - #OnionServices on #Tor / @[email protected] show [how it's done…](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114437837120770551)
@varbin @f4grx @nixCraft @torproject Well, you can dynamically block them based off packet rate & amount of requests and rate-limit them as well as limit them in terms of transfer rate.
Not to mention you rarely see DDoS attacks from residential IPs and ISPs are quick to disconnect offending hosts upon reporting them, so worst-case one blocks a /24 for 24 hours.
Again: if this is a real problem, any decent datacenter / hoster / upstream will gladly pick up the phone or reply to your support request via mail.
#DECIX even officially recommends that as a means to handle large-scale DDoS attacks and keep everyone else online.

@LunaDragofelis Consider #blackholing entire #ASN|s like #aws and all the ofther #GAFAMs instead.

@osm_tech personally, I'd block all the #GAFAMs by their entire #ASN|s!
Fuck the crawlers; #Blackholing of their #DDoS attacks is the only feasible option!
Also send an #AbuseReport everytime they try that shite to them and all the providers from you till them...
@snow Maybe consider a provider that allows you to do #Blackholing?
#Contabo for example allows to book a dedicaded, managed #pfSense #Firewall woth their #dedicaded #Servers so you can just block entire ASNs aggressively.
