They're stress-testing a web server through a tor proxy? This sounds abusive to me. I also wonder whether 400 referred to the HTTP 400 error code rather than the number of requests to be sent. As in: - Layer 7 (“400 bad request”) attacks toward our web and application servers, causing Linode Manager outages from http://status.linode.com/incidents/mmdbljlglnfd regarding a big DDOS attack that's been running against Linode.com (a VPS host) over the past couple weeks. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
