Good. What archive.today is doing is illegal

  Two wrong don’t make a right.

    True, but not relevant.
    • croes 6mo ago
      Relevant because Cloudflare manipulated the DNS using a false reasoning
      • cuu508 6mo ago
        1.1.1.2 blocks malware, and archive.today performs DDOS. Where's the false reasoning?
        • croes 6mo ago
          It‘s not a C&C/Botnet
          • cuu508 6mo ago
            It is C&C -- it instructs their site visitors to DOS a specific site.
            • croes 6mo ago
              A C&C controls a botnet, where is the botnet?
              • cuu508 6mo ago
                The browsers of their site visitors.
                • croes 6mo ago
                  If you need to be on the site it’s not a botnet and there is no C&C server coordinating the attack. It‘s just the JS on the site that makes the attack.

                    Does this mean that the Great Cannon of China is not a botnet because it stops working when you close your browser?
                    • croes 6mo ago
                      Does the Great Cannon of China coordinate the attacks? Does archive.today? Hijacking a software like the browser is something completely different to a simple JS on a website.

                          How does archive.today coordinate the attack?
            • zahlman 6mo ago
              By this logic, all malicious JavaScript (obvious example is cryptominers I guess, assuming no JS sandbox escape) is C&C, yeah? As it "instructs site visitors" to do something harmful locally?
