My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom
Roughly, a somewhat lackluster response to a somewhat lackluster DDoS attempt.<p>They tried blocking specific ip addresses, which didn&#x27;t work, because the attack was somewhat distributed.  They then just turned on some caching, which allowed the site to function, albeit with an unknown excess bandwidth charge pending.<p>And, the DDoS itself can&#x27;t of been terribly impressive, as all it took to mitigate was a bit of caching.  He mentions 10 requests &#x2F; sec as the scale of the attack.
