A Javascript-based DDoS Attack as seen by Safe Browsing

To protect users from malicious content, Safe Browsing’s infrastructure analyzes web pages with web browsers running in virtual machines.

While machine learning algorithms select which web pages to inspect, we analyze millions of web pages every day and achieve good coverage of the web in general.
