LegitUnlocks Gets "DDosed"

Updated
1 min read

Sorting through all the muck and garbage that has been LU’s rhetoric lately has been absolutely treacherous. LegitUnlocks is now claiming that they’ve gotten Ddosed. Is this case?

Suffice it to say, this likely isn’t an actual DDos. In the image provided, the statement “Traffic max RPS threshold 10 passed by loc b’/’” means that 10 or more requests were made to the site per second.

What this means is that it could’ve been 1000 requests a second or it could’ve been 12. If it was ~10, then it legitimately is not a DDos is just misunderstanding on their part. 10 requests a second is something that can absolutely happen accidentally. Many sources suggest that 10 request a second is a placeholder value that it supposed to be changed when you setup DDos protection.

What if it was an Actual DDos?

There’s still the possibility of that, I assume. It’s just unlikely.

If it is an actual DDos, who caused the attack is an unknown. LegitUnlocks has suffered DDos attacks before, however, so it’s likely that it’s the same culprit as those times.

Conclusion

Things are really heating up right now, and LegitUnlocks is NOT happy. We’ll have to see how they respond to superior tools rising up against them. Until then, stay tuned!
