Presumably changing the IP address that Wikileaks uses doesn't help because the bots doing the DDoS grab the IP address from DNS. Assuming Wikileaks doesn't mind the downtime (they're going to be down anyways) why not set the wikileaks web-related DNS entries to point to an IP address that fbi.gov or whitehouse.gov uses for, say, their email server?
Perhaps law enforcement might then have a vested interest in discovering the source of those attacks if their ability to receive email gets shot to hell.
- redslazer 14y agoWhile that may be a good idea in theory it would also send all legitement visitors to those links cause a couple of things to happen: 1. I cant go to wikileaks and leak a document because my ip address will be recorded on a governement website (weird questions ensue) 2. The sites that are currently mirroring wikileaks wont have a source. So they will become out of date pretty soon. 3. People will think that wikileaks has been taken down and will forget about it.
