    That would be very difficult though for a site as large as the Internet Archive. They will most definitely have intricate defense strategies and lots of bandwidth. Cannot really imagine a teenager to be capable of that unless their parents are billionaires.

      Have you seen how slow their site is normally? Just request loads of obscure random pages and it will just eat their IO.

      Throw some standard ddos on top to obscure things and your good? (Bad)

      Edit: I know nothing about their storage, so I may be wrong. It just feels like they are held together with spit and prayers at the best of times.
