Hackers attempt to kill internet...

[NejinOniwa]

...that, or there was just some haxxor idiot who had nothing to do and decided to wreak some havoc and show it to his friends so that he could make THEM buy him drinks all night for the rizzpect (yaw foo) he'd earned.


Or it was a conspiracy.

[Kami-Tux]

To build such a botnet, you need more than one idiot!

[NejinOniwa]

How about one idiot with an army of split personalities?

[Kami-Tux]

Only if he uses hyperthreading (see the random picture thread where I posted an ELER comic).

[NejinOniwa]

THAT would be seriously, ziggingly friggin downright scary.
Five times with vaseline.

[Kami-Tux]

well, I would so want that ability! well, SMP would be even better, but still!

[dijiko]

HAHA! idoits!

[dephy]

LOL like anyone could ever shut down the internet.

[Kami-Tux]

Well, dephy, the DNS system is the weakest link. Of course, eveerything would still be reachable, but only if you know the IP-addresses.

[NejinOniwa]

And THAT is only for SUPREME HAXXORS to know.

[Kami-Tux]

Well, imagine you were in front of your PC and suddenly no URLs were resolved anymore. to how many sites/services would you be able to have access to?

SUPREME HAXXORS use alternative DNS systems anyways and therefore are unaffected.

[NejinOniwa]

Well, isn't that what i just said?

[Kami-Tux]

Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic. My parents for a while had problems with the DNS-setting, meaning sometimes names did not resolve and thus put things in the hosts-file, which we needed most

[kroekoe]

the begining made me lmao, hu, funny

[NejinOniwa]

Don't worry, tuxy! I AM a user of extreme sarcasm after all, so mistaking stuff i say for that isn't very unusual...
And you say your folks had DNS problems? That must've been a hell XD
