Title: What kind of attacks is pushpool open to, if any? Post by: TeraPool on July 19, 2011, 01:04:13 AM From here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Denial_of_Service_.28DoS.29_attacks (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Denial_of_Service_.28DoS.29_attacks)
Quote Bitcoin has some denial-of-service prevention built-in (it will drop connections to peers that send it too much data too quickly), but is likely still vulnerable to more sophisticated denial-of-service attacks. Does pushpool have any similar dos prevention techniques built in or is that up to the pool operator to take care of? |
