They're stress-testing a web server through a tor proxy? This sounds
abusive to me.
I also wonder whether 400 referred to the HTTP 400 error code rather
than the number of requests to be sent. As in:
- Layer 7 (“400 bad request”) attacks toward our web and application
servers, causing Linode Manager outages
from http://status.linode.com/incidents/mmdbljlglnfd
regarding a big DDOS attack that's been running against Linode.com
(a VPS host) over the past couple weeks.
