Cloudflare is protecting a booter.

[eldersea@expressional.social]

@cR0w Does cloudflare actually provide any sort of useful service, other than making websites a lot more annoying?

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@cR0w @blogdiva That’s a protection racket oO

[epic_null@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w I don't know that it is legal. In America, at least, companies do a lot of illegal shit because we don't enforce our laws.

[mainframed767@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w wasn't the whole anti ddos industry built by the mob to protect them from other mobs?

[grey@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w Pretty sure that's just a textbook extortion racket

[cav@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w Mr. Armsdealer: "Oh hey bad guy you want a gun? Here ya go. Oh hey good guy. You want a gun to protect yourself from bad guy? Sure here ya go."

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@eldersea They are very good at DDoS mitigation, bulletproof hosting, harassment, and enabling less-visible DNS for criminal shit.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@mainframed767 Yeah but they don't even try to pretend to hide it anymore.

[eldersea@expressional.social]

@cR0w
So all crims, all the way down. Got it

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@eldersea Yep. Every single decision maker in the org and every weird nerd that defends their bullshit.

[spacelifeform@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w

It was always an extortion racket.

I'm sure Kash Patel will leave no bottle unturned if he starts an investigation
@cR0w

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w bulletproof hosting tactics.

[kwayk42@sechtor.social]

@cR0w this is why Cloydflare has lava lamps instead of mirrors #FuckCloudflare

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w also just going to repeat last night's rant:

"We don't actually host anything"
fuck off
"We believe in freedom of speech, even for people who would butcher you if they legally could."
FUCK OFF
"Also, here's some free tunneling and hosting services that are very frequently abused in malware and phishing campaigns the world over."
JESUS, JUST FUCK OFF.
"Doesn't our lava lamp wall make us so quirky and lovable?"
FUCK OFF AND KEEP FUCKING OFF.

@da_667 @cR0w You should have seen the propaganda Cisco et. al. were spewing at that Colorado state senate hearing where Cisco and co. want to murder right-to-repair.

"lol I don't know why they need lava lamps to protect the internet, but hurrdurrr" -the pig that got elected to talk about shit he has no clue about (his day job is oppressing minorities as a pig)

[dch@bsd.network]

@cR0w somebody needs to get a federal investigation for aiding and abetting extortion and terrorism rammed up their tunnel

[realn2s@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @eldersea
Bis doubting it, would you have a link to read up on it?

[pertho@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@cR0w I have to work with a guy at work who is an absolute cloudflare zealot. It drives me mad. Sadly, there is no other way to protect PHP-heavy sites, because sites that need to use PHP to render everything are so poorly engineered. About the best thing we can do is stick Varnish in front, aggressively cache things like search which always hit the backend and pray.

@dch @cR0w It would likely go nowhere in the Land of the Orange Monster since he gutted all the regulatory/oversight. The EU might have a better chance of pursuing justice.
