We've offered to help Brian Krebs out. We don't see any reason we could not handle an attack of that size. We've already seen gigantic attacks and have a very well developed automatic infrastructure for dealing all manner of attacks at different layers and an experienced 24/7 network team.

How do you feel about Kreb's criticism of CloudFlare for, in his view, sheltering the web presences of various DDoS-for-hire services? Just wondering what your response to his articles such as "Spreading the Disease and Selling the Cure" is. He seems to have taken some pretty strong anti-CloudFlare public positions.

I just want to take this opportunity to say that as a paying customer, this attitude towards your duty of keeping a site online, no matter who's it is, is exactly why we swear by CloudFlare and why almost no one else seems appealing in this field. I've watched your competition snuff out customers for being too controversial, while you guys just get it done. Thanks for this, it's really changed the shape of the internet in some ways.
