The gzip idea is giving me goosebumps however this must be a solved problem, right? I mean, the client device can also send zip bombs so it sounds like it should be DDOS 101?
>I mean, the client device can also send zip bombs A GET request doesn't have a body. There's nothing to gzip.

How can I do this to port scanners? They constantly scan my home network and my firewall complains.
You would probably want a honeypot to lure them in. But I wouldn't expect the output to go through an LLM, although I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong. This stuff is just low level automated scanning looking for well known, easy exploits. Default credentials and stuff like that. A lot of it is trying to recruit hosts for illegal VPNs / proxies, DDOS service, and more scanning / propagation. My advice is to block…

Library of Babel captivated me as a student learning programming for the first time. I couldn't even fathom how something like that could be made in real/virtual life. I understand it now, but I still aspire to recreate this site on my own one day. The story by Borges is amazing as well too

#185First off, make a website defend mode that can be triggered to serve different content. Then, do the following: 1. Add a robots.txt, make it look like it's wordpress (Disallow: /wp-admin etc) 2. If any client requests /wp-admin, flag their IP ASN as bot. 3. If a client is a bot, send it a gzip bomb (100kB size, unpacked around 20GB), use Transfer-Encoding: gzip and Content-Encoding: gzip to also punish malicious web…
Do bots even use QUIC? Either way, holding tcp state instead of udp state shouldn't be a big difference in 2024, unless you're approaching millions of connections.

> Was the Sneed incident real ? You're not good at doxxing, Benjamin. You don't even know who the players of this game are. Maybe get outside and touch some grass once in a while? because being a bully online isn't something I would strive for in life.
i don't know who Benjamin is, and i am unfamiliar with anything you've done since, but fwiw i also recognized your name from the sneedacity incident. you're cooler than i remember you being.

#189Sell it to someone inexperienced who wants to pick up a high traffic website. Show the stats of visitors, monthly hits, etc. DO NOT MENTION BOTS. Easiest money you'll ever make. (Speaking from experience ;) )
