    Tell me in the old days there were other things that could happen. Like feathering somebody after tar pitting. I dont know what that would’ve meant. Maybe servers ridiculing an attacker or something.

    Tar pitting sounds way more fun than rate limiting >.>

      Could be a feature where servers would add your IP to a list, and send it to the clients (like a list somewhere in case of a website)

      Then clients would start sending random metasploit-esk requests to those IPS
