Hello,
has anyone considered this simple workaround for BREACH and
gzip-compression, i.e. randomly interspersed flush()-es during
compression?
https://github.com/wnyc/breach_buster
It would be compatible with all clients, and should be fairly easy to
implement in nginx (for nginx hackers).
Of course, it doesn’t prevent BREACH attacks, but it makes them much
harder.
PS: yes, I’m aware that BREACH should also be prevented in the
app-layer,
