Anonymous Threatens To Shut Down Internet Next Month



Quote:
Anonymous plans to shut down the internet on March 31 to protest SOPA, Wall Street and more.








Oh my. Anonymous may be going too far this time.
The hactivist group is now threatening to shut down the internet to protest "SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun." If the threat is indeed real, the world's entire population will suffer Internet withdrawal on March 31 as a result of the group's crusade.
So how does Anonymous plan to take down the Internet? By hitting the 13 root DNS servers. Thus, the HTTP internet will be disabled because no one will be able to perform a domain name lookup. "Anybody entering 'http://www.google.com' or ANY other url, will get an error page, thus, they will think the Internet is down, which is, close enough," the group writes.
Anonymous claims this will only be a protest, and is not designed to "kill" the internet. Instead, Anonymous is temporarily shutting the Internet down "where it hurts the most."
"The principle is simple," Anonymous writes, explaining how the attack on the 13 DNS servers will be carried out. "A flaw that uses forged UDP packets is to be used to trigger a rush of DNS queries all redirected and reflected to those 13 IPs. The flaw is as follow; since the UDP protocol allows it, we can change the source IP of the sender to our target, thus spoofing the source of the DNS query."

No, immu. What they're going (trying) to do is to perform multiple DoS attacks on IP addresses of the root domain name servers. If root servers go down, no domain name will function because gTLD/ccTLD itself won't function.

I'm interested in the outcome...

Those 13 root servers aren't exactly just servers we see in our daily life or anywhere else. They're literally hundreds of super computers.
