How We Reduced the Impact of Zombie Clients

Every night, right around midnight (mainly UTC), a horde of zombies wakes up and clamors for … digital certificates! The zombies in question are abandoned or misconfigured Internet servers and ACME clients that have been set to request certificates from Let’s Encrypt. As our certificates last for at most 90 days, these zombie clients’ software knows that their certificates are out-of-date and need to be replaced. What they don’t realize is that their quest for new certificates is doomed!
