Nothing strikes fear in my heart quite like the phrase ‘hypervolumetric DDoS attack’.

Back in August of 2023, the Tor network implemented proof of work for onion services to mitigate denial of service attacks, which seems to have helped a lot. I wonder if doing this on the clear net would have any tangible benefit.

  Doing something like that would require an update to the HTTP spec.
  
  Can we fix the spelling of referer while we are there, or is that spelling going to be passed down through the centuries? I guess we’ve already had the opportunity and not done it.
