Hi!
Many DDoS attacks, particularly those that use reflection and amplification, rely on the attacker knowing your IP address. Such attacks cannot be used against a properly implemented .onion site, as the service's IP address is hidden.
Alec, I'd be interested in how Facebook has handled attacks like this against its one-hop onion service (RSOS), which has public IP addresses.
Does the existing Facebook infrastructure handle the extra load? Or are you more focused on firewalls and load balancing?
