Most Regex engines will work very similarly (with minor differences). The dramatic difference is due to the way regular expressions get evaluated. But when given an invalid string, it takes nearly two seconds to complete the test, over ten times as long as it took to test a valid string. The entire process of testing it against a 30 characters long string takes around ~52ms. $ time node -e '/A(B|C+)+D/.test('ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCX')'ġ.79s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 1.812 total It most cases, it doesn't take very long for a regex engine to find a match: $ time node -e '/A(B|C+)+D/.test('ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCD')'Ġ.04s user 0.01s system 95% cpu 0.052 total The expression would match inputs such as ABBD, ABCCCCD, ABCBCCCD and ACCCCCD D Finally, we ensure this section of the string ends with a 'D'.The + at the end of this section states that we can look for one or more matches of this section. (B|C+)+ The string must then follow the letter A with either the letter 'B' or some number of occurrences of the letter 'C' (the + matches one or more times).A The string must start with the letter 'A'.This regular expression accomplishes the following: Let’s take the following regular expression as an example: regex = /A(B|C+)+D/ Regular expressions are incredibly powerful, but they aren't very intuitive and can ultimately end up making it easy for attackers to take your site down. The Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) is a type of Denial of Service attack. There are many types of DoS attacks, ranging from trying to clog the network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines (a Distributed Denial of Service - DDoS - attack) to sending crafted requests that cause a system to crash or take a disproportional amount of time to process. Var attack_str = '['+' '.repeat(i*10000) Ĭonsole.log('attack_str.length: ' + attack_str.length + ': ' + time_cost+' ms')ĭenial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its original and legitimate users.

Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.Running a 'scraper' or 'downloader' program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests.
