can you imagine how big a botnet has to be to take out half

If you had any idea how the internet works than you would know it doesn't have to be very large at all you fucking moron

Difficult to say since it never happened.

Botnets are huge these days senpai.

>>57178545
Correct. The Russians are trying to get trump elected

>>57178545
False flag was leaked months before.

They will try to get CIA involved in the election with this attack

>>57178567
So this is why they are incriminating themselves and make their actions obvious?

Russians wouldnt shoot themselves in a foot like that.

About as large as the number of people who got a free update to Windows 10 in the past year.

is this picture real? i can't honestly tell.

why hasn't it been used in mainstream media never?

It's not like they actually DDoSed all of those sites directly. They targeted the DNS servers.

How about that "internet of things," eh? What a great concept!

>>57179519
This. The iot meme just leads to a bunch of embedded devices, which often don't receive updates, being connected to the internet.

Why is Russia doing this? The only way we can show them who's boss is through a war. And you won't get that through electing Drumpf, let's go Hilldogs.

>>57179321
yes it is, why would the msm attack the person they shill for?

Russia wants to get Trump elected because it would destroy America.

>>57179698
ok whatever /pol/, go back to your shithole you propaganda nigger

Seeing how Trump will win (((they))) have to push WW3 even closer.
It's their last chance of destroying the concept of national identity and auto determination.

>>57179730
Isn't this quite the opposite to something that /po/ would say?

take the falseflag elsewhere

/pol/ pls take the samefagging somewhere else

This was an attack generated by hacking smart toasters.

Everyone who thought a toaster needed an internet connection caused this.

If there is any doubt about /pol's position on the issues with the Democrats and a war with Russia you can go to /pol to see it for yourself.
You can fuck off Pedro, no CTR points for you.

Apparently the code for the botnet/ddos was posted online. Anybody know where?

Sure but then a lot of them aren't even configured correctly and a vast majority of those still use default user / pass anyway.

God I hate how fucking dim this board is

>>57179763
/po/ wants nothing to do with you fags.

>>57180113
It's the Mirai botnet. Basically someone hacked internet connected toasters and turned them into a botnet, because who updates their toaster?

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/10/source-code-for-iot-botnet-mirai-released/

Some skiddies just ran the code for a few hours. If it were russian or chinese there would have been more disruption.

Taking out a DNS node is not the internet

https://www.dynstatus.com/incidents/5r9mppc1kb77

Event cause:
On Friday October 21, 2016 at approximately 11:10 UTC, Dyn came under attack by a large Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against our Managed DNS infrastructure in the US-East region. Customers affected may have seen regional resolution failures in US-East and intermittent spikes in latency globally. Dyn’s engineers were able to successfully mitigate the attack at approximately 13:20 UTC, and shortly after, the attack subsided.
At roughly 15:50 UTC a second DDoS attack began against the Managed DNS platform. This attack was distributed in a more global fashion. Affected customers may have seen intermittent resolution issues as well as increased global latency. At approximately 17:00 UTC, our engineers were again able to mitigate the attack and service was restored.

>>57180270
this is fucking genius and almost impossible to prevent

>>57178592
>Russians wouldnt shoot themselves in a foot like that.

I don't know about that.

>>57180355
The last thing anyone should be worried about is foreign attacks. Domestic terrorism from the DNC is well documented by Okeef and Wikileaks. They are the reason for all the riots, the economic crash, the bailouts, the flushing and shaming of left and right wing reformers. They're a clear and present danger to everyone presenting a coherent and reasonably criticism of things rather than just taking it in the ass like a good pleb.

>bunch of embedded devices, which often don't receive updates

If all these devices are vulnerable, could you use those vulnerabilities to enforce a patch to secure them, or self destruct? Use the unsecured botnet against itself.

I mean if this is an IoT botnet attack, and they're now saying it probably is, then how else are you going to fix such a distributed system? Hacking peoples smart TVs and refrigerators to self destruct or hacked patches may be the only way to stop it.
