Re: Implementing fast TCP fingerprinting with eBPF

#42

More useless and harmful anti-bot nonsense, probably with many false detections, when a simple and neutral rate-limiting 429 does the job.

There are MANY cases for such an implementation. My service [1] implements such a thing, eBPF too, and my users do it for many valid reasons such as: - shopping cart fraud - geo-restricted content (think distributing laws) - preventing abuse (think ticket scalpers) - preventing cheating and multi-accounting (think gaming) - preventing account takeovers (think 2FA trigger if fingerprint suddenly changed) There is much…

Why do you need eBPF for it? Why is IP filtering and header/cookie analysis not enough? What is shopping cart fraud? What is your false positive and false negative rate?
