Ask HN: What if Google served 301's

2 pointsby hiimnatealmost 9 years ago

What would happen if someone was able to take control of Google's main endpoint https://google.com/ and serve 301 (moved permanently) redirects for say 5 minutes?

Due to HSTS and Key Pinning, they'd get a TLS error. But if we ignore that for sake of the argument...<p>Presumably they would DDOS themselves.
