On: IP Spoofing

[mordocai]

Of course, I'm not sure if cloudflare could care any less about tor users. They see a lot of attack traffic from tor so this probably isn't something they are concerned about. I can't really blame them from a business perspective, but I avoid cloudflare due to it.

> They see a lot of attack traffic from tor

This was debunked.

[mordocai → dom0]

I don't believe this is actually arguable. People use tor to attempt to anonymize their (generally non-ddos) attacks.

I don't believe tor can support the type of ddos the OP is talking about, of course.

If you could provide the source of this debunk it'd be appreciated.

This is ridiculous. Anyone can grep their access logs for signs of obvious attacks and very quickly verify that very few, if any, of them originated from Tor exits.

It amuses me greatly that probably no one in this thread realizes who you are. (Except maybe Cloudflare.)

I have no clue who ryanlol is. Would it make a difference if I did?

He's a subject matter expert: Julius Kivimaki.

OK

"This was debunked."

Where exactly?

No one claimed Tor was sending DDoS attacks -- plenty of other malicious traffic comes out of Tor however.

Where/how?
