The DeCloudflare git project is hosted at all good, git repos.

It also has a list of CloudFlare #IPAddress ASN from which anyone can produce a list of #IPAddresses to block, for as long as needed.

We encourage #Mastodon Fedi instances to volunteer to operate an opt-in bot called #MitmGator or #MitiGator, a friendly alligator that warns followers when they post a link to CloudFlare.

Please come forward.

Don't sit idly by and wait for fedi to disintegrate.

@frankie #Mitigator¹ is a robotic service that you follow & it follows you back. Then it monitors your posts for #Cloudflare links. If you post a CF link, you get an instant DM from Mitigator telling you it’s a CF link & it gives an alternate link. 1. 101010.pl/@mg

@frankie i boosted this, then #Mitigator told me a Cloudflare link is in there. I thought surely I can trust a nitter instance to not put a privacy abuser in the supply chain… nope. Had to unboost. Will reboost if a CF-free nitter link is used.

@mg @rms It’s much more convenient to boost & let #Mitigator do the work but what happens when I unboost? I think unboosting takes it off my timeline but some damage does not get reversed b/c the toot was already copied to the federated timelines of all the nodes of those following me. Guess some client-side tooling is needed here. And someone should teach privacy to #TeachPrivacy.com.

@gabriel @atoponce I suggest you guys follow #mitigator (mg@101010.pl). It’s a quite useful service that will follow back & monitor the links you post, and ultimately DM you with a better link if you post a Cloudflare link. A guide is here: https://framagit.org/dCF/deCloudflare/-/blob/master/subfiles/service.altlink.md

Is the MitiGator no more? That was such a useful bot. #MitiGator

@zleap
Yes, for #DDOSProtection, the thing that most say Cf is useful for. There are a range of #FOSSCaptcha alternatives. Consider also baking into any images a watermark of your website and business so that your #captcha cannot be ethically passed onto #microWorkers.

The Man-In-The-Middle Attack Prevention Gator, aka #MitiGator is #FOSS and provides alternatives dynamically based on what a person toots or boosts.

Hi Fedizens, you may remember me as #altLink — yelling from the corner of the avatar.

In a #Kafkaesque moment of quality frustration I morphed into #MitiGator the #MITM Prevention Alligator. As always, you can follow me and I'll follow you, to let you know when you accidentally toot a dodgy website.

DID YOU KNOW I don't just #Cloudflare-warn? Over the next days I'll share some nice things I can do.

Together, we can 'snap back' against the #MITMAttack!

#foss #fediService

THERE'S A WEBSITE infrastructure for #socialMovements and #politicalParties and such.

No, its not the #OMN.

Its called #NationBuilder… and its on #Cloudflare, lol.

We might laugh but this stuff is pretty serious. If you want to 'snap back' against the MitM Attack? Let a #FOSS and all-round friendly alligator help…

2000 FOLLOWERS STOLEN? (update)

The instance being investigated for the above alleged #Theft of #Followers and #FollowerData via Means of #Deception is https://tvitero.com

The admin of that #FediInstance appears to have gone silent. We continue to wait for responses. We're advised the admin understands and has published in english.

Let's hope any confusion and theft is remedied soon and #MitiGator can continue the fight against the #Cloudflare (+ other) #MITMAttacks.

#followerTheft

A small team is seeking a #characterDesign for a FOSS anti-MITM tool called the #MitiGator.

MitiGator (the #MITMGator) can warn people when they use or share a website hosted through #Cloudflare, #Amazon, #Google, #Akamai, or #Azure.

A #design #competition for the mascot is expected. The prize: your name or crypto addr on profile #art.

The #mascotCharacter is not set in stone. Have a better design/name for the #FOSS tool? Use it!

Please boost.
