It's been interesting to see who is affected and who isn't and their rationale.

Hehe, when I heard about the attack a couple of days ago I was interested to know if Nginx was affected and did a search on Google for the CVE of that attack followed by the name of Nginx.

I didn’t find anything relevant so I assumed that Nginx was not affected.

Turns out that was not a good assumption :p

If you read the article, you'll see that the default configuration is not affected.

Important to note that unless your Nginx instance has a special (read: very high) keepalive limit configured, Nginx has a fairly reasonable defense against HTTP/2 rapid reset attack by default, as the article says. Still, interesting to see the response to these attacks.

I know. But not everyone uses the default configuration.
