Maybe bots shouldn't be trying to install malicious code? Sucks to suck.
Still illegal. Not immoral, but a lot of our laws aren't built on morality.
Illegal to publically serve or distribute.
Funny part is many of us crusty old sysadmins were using derivatives of this decades ago to test RAID-5/6 sequencial reads and write speeds.
I want to know he they built that visualization
let me try..
Looks fine to me. Only 1 CPU core I think was 100%.
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
10737418240 bytes (11 GB, 10 GiB) copied, 28,0695 s, 383 MB/s
ow.. now the idea is to unzip it right?
nice idea:
if (ipIsBlackListed() || isMalicious()) {
header("Content-Encoding: deflate, gzip");
header("Content-Length: "+ filesize(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G)); // 10 MB
readfile(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G);
exit;
}
Might need some
if (ob_get_level()) ob_end_clean();
before the readfile. 😉
Interesting. I wonder how long it takes until most bots adapt to this type of "reverse DoS".
Then we'll just be more clever as well. It's an arms race after all.
How I read that code:
"If the dev folder's bullshit is equal to 1 gram..."
