We are alive - What they write

Monday is a hard day ... Especially when it is delayed ...
The attack on the sites of Futurico raised a big buzz on the network.
As shown by fluent views of the press, in Russia, DDos is becoming popular :

Interestingly, DDoS attacks are prohibited by criminal law in Sweden and in several other countries; in Russia yet.

Besides:

www.habrahabr.ru zadefaysili ... After the site was returned to normal, the defacer told how he did it, but his post was immediately removed.
In that post, he hinted at the site:

“PS Gentlemen web developers. Be careful.
PPS [img src = " habrahabr.ru/logout?.jpeg "] in a post razloginivaet the user. GET - it is bad.
PPPS 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 to generate a random image and looks like:
')
/ captchaa / eckete2rxn2o2gjq for leprosorium.ru
/ captcha / 534nnkcno8mrew2r for dirty.ru

With such an attack, there is no need to generate a large amount of traffic; it is enough to “keep” the web service overloaded.

Interestingly, the first posts on the topic began to appear on Webplanet ...

What are the reasons, that's what worries me and, I think, everyone here. While there are three options:
- Blackmail: Habr has already been attacked by a hacker, who first wanted to get money for reporting vulnerabilities on the site. Perhaps the same hacker continues to be offended that he was not paid.
- Advertising: The owners of botnets either have a surplus of capacity, or some new criminal group is trying to find customers in this way.
- Competitors: There are speculations that there are interested persons in the face of Bokarev:

Obviously, some new player in the same field decided to pin down the "oldies".

As an assumption: recently Bokarev began to actively promote his project netlore.ru, which is the direct competitors of Bashu and Derty

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

ps Pardon the “soon-to-hand”, because I really collected information quickly, as soon as I reached Habr.
