We are alive - what they write

    Monday is a hard day ... Especially when it drags on ... The
    attack on Futurico's websites has made a big buzz on the network.
    As fluent press views showed, DDos is becoming popular in Russia :

    Interestingly, DDoS attacks are prohibited by criminal law in Sweden and several other countries; in Russia not yet.

    Moreover:
    www.habrahabr.ru zadefeysili ... After the site was returned to normal, defeyser told how he did it, but his post was immediately deleted.
    In that post, he hinted at how the site was deferred:

    “PS Gentlemen, web developers. Be careful.
    PPS [img src = " habrahabr.ru/logout?.jpeg "] in the post logs out the user. GET is bad.
    PPPS The quotes in the [youtube] tag are not filtered. You can write arbitrary attributes -> execute JS code. "

    “A quick analysis showed the following - the attack can be classified as“ intelligent ”, the web service is attacked by requests for generating a random picture and looks like:

    / captchaa / eckete2rxn2o2gjq for leprosorium.ru
    / captcha / 534nnkcno8mrew2r for dirty.ru

    There is no need for such an attack in generating a large amount of traffic, it is enough to “keep” the web service overloaded.

    It is interesting that the first posts on the topic began to appear on the Web planet ...

    What are the reasons, this is what excites me and, I think, everyone here. So far there are three options:
    - Blackmail: “Habr” has already been attacked by a hacker who first wanted to get money for reporting a vulnerability on the site. Perhaps the same hacker continues to be offended that he was not paid.
    - Advertising: The owners of botnets either got an excess of capacity, or some kind of new criminal group is trying to find customers in this way
    - Competitors: There are speculations that there are interested persons in the person of Bokarev:
    Obviously, some new player in the same field decided to pin down the “oldies”.

    As an assumption: recently Bokarev began actively promoting his project netlore.ru, which is direct competitors to Bash and Derti

    If he had the audacity to make a book out of other people's jokes, it was logical would now bang "sources".


    ps Sorry for the "quick hand", as it really collected information quickly, as soon as I reached Habr.
