DDoS From 4chan Hits MPAA and Anti-Piracy Website 318

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday September 18, 2010 @05:56PM from the wonder-how-much-piracy-went-unaddressed-while-they-were-down dept.

ACKyushu writes "Say what you like about 4chan; when they want something done, it gets done. Following a call to arms yesterday, the masses inhabiting the anonymous 4chan boards have carried out a huge assault on a pair of anti-piracy enemies. The website of Aiplex Software, the anti-piracy outfit which has been DDoSing torrent sites recently, fell victim to a DDoS itself. They were joined in the Internet wasteland by the MPAA's website, which also fell to a huge and sustained attack."

Same here. And a lookup on my.ip.add.ress didn't give anything useful.
I think it is a highly suspectable event.

440 or 420? Hmmm. This is a very important question. One which I MUST research. Maybe we can get everyone on slashdot to test this?

Technical people seem to think that their beliefs are correct and everyone else is wrong far more often than other professional classes.
Why would one hold a belief that one did not believe was correct?
Anonymous is just an expression of that. They believe they are right and are justified in attacking others based on their belief.
Right. When Aiplex and the MPAA attack sites and people, that's OK. If some group attacks them in return, it's akin to terrorism.

Fail at web server administration.
At least their success rate is consistent.

I know proxies work differently, but I just pictured the MPAA server admins reading the logs and going "OMFG the attacks are all coming from 10.10.0.0/16 and 192.168.1.0/24. We are being attacked from within!!!!"

Television and movies worth bookmarking.
Kleenex worth saving.
Flies worth counting.
Yugos worth restoring.
Feces worth polishing.
I suppose you can see where I'm going with this...
