If this is supposed to be "taking down the internet", then I'm not impressed. Using cached DNS still gives access to any service. I'm even typing here on Hacker

If this is another practice run, then I'm still not impressed. Taking down one provider is not that hard. Good luck finding the resources to do this DDoS to ALL large DNS providers out there.
Maybe it's not really fair to link to that post every time a DDoS with more than average payload happens. Especially since the post doesn't mention any specifics, because well, "protect my sources". It's like the "buy gold now" guy starring in the 2 AM infomercial predicting an economic recession within the next 5 years, without adding what the exact cause is going to be. He is probably going to be right, but that doesn't make him a visionary.
- drinchev 10y agoI work as a freelancer and today I didn't get paid and that's just me. Companies probably lost millions today. By just one DDoS to one DNS provider. Yeah it's not the whole Internet, but how do you define "taking down the Internet" anyway. Is it every connected computer or just a huge amount of interconnected big websites? Because the latter is happening right now.
