They don't. Botnets are nothing like they were pre-2020. ( https://oxylabs.io/products/residential-proxy-pool , https://brightdata.com/products/scraping-browser , https://scrapeops.io/web-scraping-playbook/residential-mobile-proxies-economics/ )
In general, you can't use source anymore. I mean, not just the "legal" proxy farms: we're never going back to pre-Mirai internet.✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: and Phantasm like this. -

@bronze @graf Shit, that's what I was thinking. This is probably costly and definitely ineffectual: why would it be worth the money? An automated attack that didn't work is one thing but they're altering it live. It's still not taking any instances out, though. Why is it worth the effort? Publicly disclosed attacks exist, they hit harder than this. It's weird, right, like: it is extremely mixed tactics, some stuff is effective and some of it's fucking retarded. Someone trying to figure it out, someone that doesn't want to do a DDoS but wants to see how fedi reacts to a DDoS, someone doing babby's first DDoS by letting an LLM drive?

@Owl @graf @PalePimp Not really; see the other posts about botnets, like, that's just how it do nowadays.
Me mum, right, I get there and I try to get into her router. No password written on it. Grab the manual; doesn't list a default password. Sit to write a thing, right, figure I'll have to brute-force it. Didn't have to: login was admin/admin and open to the world on port 80. That is just how ISPs do.
You get a lot of, like, someone tries to hit a CGI script and passes in a wget line, I download it, and it's a MIPS/Linux binary. Routers, some embedded system; nearly no logging on those things. Or you see RedisWannaMine, I've got like 30 variants. You can find out a lot just by looking at your logs: once a vulnerability is in the mass scanners, you have a tiny window where it works at scale but they don't know. So if you know how to write a backdoor, you can sit on unlimited fuckin' machines just by watching incoming traffic. They only target residential IPs: you don't get the same scans at a DC as you do on a home router.In conversation permalink Phantasm likes this. -

It's not meant to stop anything.
If I had to hazard a guess for motivation, anytime somebody does something without full committal it's because they're testing the waters. If I wanted to break into somebody's house, as an example, I would do things like knock on their door at certain times or even better, would start leaving random business leaflets from the local area and checking every so often to see if someone's come by in the residence to grab them. I would check their power meter to see when electricity is most used, to gather an assessment of their routines.
This is a probe to check for responses.
That they have the capability to do these things suggests they have the potential capability to full send.
Just a thought.In conversation permalink -

@p @lolitechengineer @graf @Owl It goes like this, you begin blocking them, maybe a hundred of addresses at a time, a couple of minutes later after blocking them a few hundred more appear and so on.
After the second and 3rd block of addresses I start blocking all the subnets they come from and the attack evaporates like mist under the sun.
