I think Tom's is getting nuked now.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

I just grinned. How do I get there and how much do I have to pay?

 

[joz]

I think I want to pay to have it nuked...quality level is horrible. News is old and frankly, this is the most intresting thing posted in MONTHS.
DDOS TIME!

Seriously, joking here. But only about the DDOS.

Alms for the irritated? How about you? Care to help the collection to kill Myspace, Facebook, and Photobucket?

 

[spectrewind]

Thwarted by round-robin DNS?

 

[Demonslay335]

What if you hire it to nuke its own domain? Does a black hole emerge?

From China??!! Didn't see that coming...

 

[ricardok]

Than china says: "It isn't us! It's the Taiwaneese guys." so now they can start a war. [jk]

Anyway, where else could you create such a huge botnet? 99% of the PCs there have some kind of gov. rootkit installed, so why not use that power to DDoS US websites?

 

[stingstang]

Ermm.. Could someone hire them to take down the website hosted by that church group who's mantra is "Thank God for IEDs"?

Aren't DDOS attacks illegal in the US? Hiring someone to do something illegal, regardless of whether or not it's illegal where they live, is also illegal!

But the crime is committed in china...

it's like an Iranian will hire some girl to walk around the US without an hair cover, its legal here and not there, yet the action of hiring is legal.

if this is known then it is illegal, a bot network is illegal to have and hiring them is considered paying for illegal services.

Think of it like buying illegal drugs, if the supplier gets caught then you may also get caught and arrested.

Hiring illegal services to attack other illegal services is also illegal.
think of it as if you owned an illegal drug company and another company was moving in on your turf and you hired a gang to kill the competition. you will still be arrested, not just for the illegal company that yo are running but for also hiring illegal services.

 

[idoln95]

Well, but DDOS attacking is legal in china...

 

[eddieroolz]

We're screwed.

But in all honesty, China is the land of immorals.

Let's pool our money, buy their services and kill the RIAA and such?
