🤯 ok sir, what was your purpose behind that attack? to find how vulnerable nostr / relays are? or would like to know how relay owners mitigated those attack?
I wish there is an article about the attack and the mitigation that I can read today

Can't speak for yonle, but very often its because an attacker can see the vulnerability and will become frustrated that people aren't protecting themselves.
Sometimes the best way to get someone to learn how to protect themselves is to attack them. At least you can let up if they aren't handling it very well
To show how easy it was to mass spam the entire nostr platform.
Today, they implemented the PoW (Proof of work). It still does not partially solve the problem, But it managed to reduce the spam attack.
