alt Hacker NewsQuick question but do these bots which you mention are from a 24H period but how long will this "attack" continue for?
Because this is something which is happening continuously & i have observed so many HN posts like these (Anubis iirc was created by its creator out of such frustration too). Git servers being scraped to the point of its effectively an DDOS.
Yes, the attack is continuous. The rate fluctuates a lot, even within a day. It's definitely an anomaly, because eg. from 2025-08-15 to 2025-10-05 I saw zero days with more than 10k requests. Here's a histogram of the past 2 weeks plus today.
