My blog website has been hit by CC attacks again. Here's a record
A sustained DDoS campaign targeted Zeruns’ image hosting and blog starting September 29, 2024. The first wave used 20GB of CDN traffic, with 1.1 billion HTTPS requests but only ~15 million billable due to QPS limits, causing a ¥50 loss. Logs totalled 16.54GB, analyzed via emed64. Attacks originated from numerous foreign IPs, mostly Android devices. Further attacks hit other domains on September 30 and October 1, consuming 380GB and costing ¥40.
