So, what kind of "malicious activity" exactly? And what exact HTTP level
software is more robust against those activities than Icecast?

I'm fully in support that active components on lower levels can be
helpful in some situations. But I would love to hear about any analysis
indicating specific request patterns that would be better handled by
external software. If you would share your information rather than
keeping us in the dark about specifics it would enable us to improve
Icecast for all users including you. :)

With best regards,
