The post seems skip explanation of what Cloudflare's involvement is?

read it.

cloudflare hosts the attackers.

  • >cloudflare hosts the attackers.

    No, they provide DDoS protection, but the actual servers are likely hosted on some random VPS somewhere.

    • When I do a lookup on beamed.st I get an IP in 2606:4700::/32 which is currently advertised from AS13335 "Cloudflare, Inc."

      Edit: I now realize gruez meant the beamed.st site itself is behind Cloudflare DDoS, completing the loop to explaining what Cloudflare's involvement was :).

  • Sorry if I wasn't clear, when reading Taggart's post and subsequent chained comments and didn't see any explanation of what Cloudflare's involvement was.

    Am I missing something on how to see more of the original post perhaps? As a sanity check I did a ctrl+f on "hosts" on the page and didn't get a match but I suppose that wouldn't help if I'm not in the right place to see the rest of the content.
