I think Google has anti dos techniques already. ddos is usually done from botnets. Botnets might be used to make fake clicks on paid ads. Such kind of fraud is top problem for google. Most likely google has some secret list with botted PCs around the world.
Any fraud activity like dos or fake clicks go to antifraud team. Most likely google will monitor GAE to detect botted PCs. 5.000.000 hit limit is not so critical. It is important to have unbeaten hosting once it would be paid service. Some companies pay huge money to akamai and other company for ddos friendly hosting. Right now small companies could be kicked out of business by big companies by ddosing them. Google is able to detect most botnets in the world and ban these ips. I hope google will offer first ddos freindly hosting for the regular price. That may make botnets less profitable at the end and stop people to create them. Unfortunately there is concern that some governments supports botnets : ( Max On Sep 12, 7:17 pm, Tony Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > How would one protect themselves against a denial of service attack? > It is very, very easy to study how an application works, write some > requests in a script and then run the scripts from a few locations in > a never-ending loop.
