Weaponizing Censorship Middleboxes for TCP Reflected Traffic Amplification Attack
> Most of these nation-states are weak amplifiers (the Great Firewall of China only offers about 1.5x amplification, for example), but some of them offer more damaging amplifications, such as Saudi Arabia (~20x amplification)

Many years ago, a friend of mine told me it may be possible to exploit the Great Firewall of China for reflected amplification DDoS. This attack is real! #censorship #infosec #ddos

If anyone around is interested in "the scene", the old message boards, private trackers, i"m writing an article on ASCII art form the dawn of time to present day. It's a fascinating, just beautiful subject matter and I'm lost in it.
If anyone can help me find my way on into the GG, I'd HIGHLY appreciate it. I'm no spring chicken, but I wasn't born in the 70's either. I will treat you and your community with respect. I am mostly interested in your artwork! :)
