I was particularly shocked by the following:
"The Anonymous protests for the most part work by having a lot of people send a lot of commands to a website, that it can’t handle so many requests. This is equivalent of a crowd of people going to the door of a building and having a protest on the street. It’s basically legitimate. And when people object to this, let’s look at who they are and what they do. Usually they are people who are doing much worse things"
So he's saying that DDoS attacks are legitimate, and anyone who doesn't think they are is up to no good?
- IvarTJ 15y agoIf I understand, he is first of all referring to DDoS attacks where many people voluntarily traffic a server with common computer setups, not when a small number of people pull off major attacks using extra resources such as unwilling puppets.
- steve-howard 15y agoIt's still an intentional denial of service.
