All great points. Also realizing that it’s pretty easy to bypass my simple check but I needed something to temporarily pause the loop. I want to allow curl completely as that is in the default exec environment but I don’t know of a good way to prevent the basic ddos. Any ideas?

Any issues found I will recommend to the author to submit directly to amazon I will not be doing so. Also I will be adding a section to the site showing issues found so far with credits to finder.
