You ever sit there and wonder who the person is on the other end of the attack? Someone sitting there, I guess with not much on that day, decides to command their army of infected bots to attack github.
Why github I wonder? Perhaps it provides a challenging target. Perhaps github is used as a testing ground for a more profitable future attack.
We often get technical writeups after a DDoS attack, however we very rarely get a writeup sumising the motive behind the attack. I can't believe every attack is simply driven by 'because they can'.
