If you have a report to file certainly do so, > https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse I gave up on doing that in late 2014 after reporting thousands of pieces of spam advertising websites hosted by Cloudflare, with no action taken, no reply received, no ticket created, *nothing*. Not in response to mail sent to abuse@cloudflare, not in response to backchannel reports, not in response to mentions in person to staff at conferences. (This was mostly people selling lists of credit card numbers rather than booters, but it's the same sort of issue). Just to see what had changed, I went back to look at the sites I reported to Cloudflare in 2014. The couple I spot-checked are still hosted by Cloudflare. Given that you (Cloudflare, rather than you personally) haven't changed your policy of never terminating abusive websites you host then continuing to report them to you seems fairly pointless. > > > On the topic of booters: > > Short version -- As someone already mentioned, CloudFlare continues > not to be a hosting provider. That's untrue, of course. You terminate the http connection; you're hosting the website; you're hiding the identity of any other operators involved; you continue to serve the website even when the backing server has been terminated. Adding an interstitial for sites hosting malware is nice and all, but the problematic customers are the ones that are selling access to those malware compromised machines. You are taking sole responsibility by your actions, while denying all responsibility in your public statements. > > Our CEO has broadly covered this topic several times. > https://blog.cloudflare.com/thoughts-on-abuse/ > > Even if we removed our service the website does not go away,it > doesn't solve the problem if we temporarily stop providing DNS to the > domain(s).

Re: cloudflare hosting a ddos service?
Justin, The only problem with that statement is that it's not true: if you did terminate service to them, the websites would go away. Maybe not today, but eventually. "Network stresser" owners are notorious for trying to take out the competition. Cloudflare provides free protection for these services to stay online. Most other ISPs wouldn't tolerate such shenanigans, whether it be for facilitating illegal activities or being on the receiving end of DDoS attacks, and would kick them off.

Re: cloudflare hosting a ddos service?
Looks like barrier to obtaining an EV SSL certificate is not very high these days. There's documentation requirements, but root CAs can't be seen to discriminate against companies in the developing world. I suppose all you need is a scanned business license/incorporation documents from your local municipality in Outer Elbonia, and a few scanned copies of fake ID, and your $99 payment for the first year.

So vbooter.org's dns and web is hosted by cloudflare? "Using vBooter you can take down home internet connections, websites and game servers such us Minecraft, XBOX Live, PSN and many more." Buy some time on it to DDoS cloudflare sites.
Re: cloudflare hosting a ddos service?

Re: cloudflare hosting a ddos service?
CloudFlare will claim they are not hosting the problem. They are just hosting the web page that lets you pay for or points at or otherwise directs you to the problem. The actual source of packets is some other IP address. Therefore, they can keep hosting the web page. It is not sending the actual [spam|DDoS|hack|etc.], right? So stop asking them to do something about it! Whether you think that is the proper way to provide service on the Internet is left as an exercise to the reader. -- TTFN, patrick > On Jul 26, 2016, at 9:49 PM, Mikewrote: > > Hi, > >So vbooter.org's dns and web is hosted by cloudflare? > > "Using vBooter you can take down home internet connections, websites and game > servers such us Minecraft, XBOX Live, PSN and many more." > >dig -t ns vbooter.org > > ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.8-Ubuntu <<>> -t ns vbooter.org > ;; global options: +cmd > ;; Got answer: > ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 62177 > ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 > > ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: > ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512 > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;vbooter.org.INNS > > ;; ANSWER SECTION: > vbooter.org.21599INNSrick.ns.cloudflare.com. > vbooter.org.21599INNSamy.ns.cloudflare.com. > > dig -t a www.vbooter.org > > ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.8-Ubuntu <<>> -t a www.vbooter.org > ;; global options: +cmd > ;; Got answer: > ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 34920 > ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 > > ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: > ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512 > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;www.vbooter.org.INA > > ;; ANSWER SECTION: > www.vbooter.org.299INCNAMEvbooter.org. > vbooter.org.299INA104.28.13.7 > vbooter.org.299INA104.28.12.7 > > >Can anyone from cloudflare answer me why this fits with your business > model? > > Mike-
