Using Google to DDoS any website. Still working?

Question

Information Security

Good afternoon dear experts. I was scouring the internet and came across this article . Do you think the method is still working? I checked, the files are still being downloaded, but, apparently, with some restrictions. Many commentators on various resources on this topic agreed that such a thing can be implemented not only with the help of Google Docs, but also others. What do you think about this? Thank you!

Answer 1

Yes, you can already score, because. it also describes how to close.
It's even easier to add to the router: they requested pictures with a GET parameter - immediately ban the IP address for a day, again - for a month.
Or just give 403 and that's it .... The
ingredient is ready - just add "water" (rule for get-s)
