DrDawkinstein Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wikileaks has been dealing with and thwarting a major DDOS attack for the past couple of days or so. The newest update makes it sound pretty serious... Makes me wonder what Countries are working together on this. If I had to guess, I'd say US, Britain, and China. Part of me is hoping it continues and Julian (the owner) puts up the key to his "Hostage Torrent". A while back he put up a huge torrent of some serious **** that no one should ever see that Wikileaks encrypted and put on bittorrent. If he gets mad enough and releases the key to unlock it, then all those secrets are out there, and no one can stop them. I also find it funny that Countries who have been enemies and have been spying on each other, and pulling lots of dirty stuff, will bond together against a common enemy that is threatening to expose all sides.

DDOS attack now exceeding 10 Gigabits a second. No wonder my PC is running slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dumb **** Assmange needs to get a girlfriend, so he can learn that the world requires a certain element of discretion when she asks "Does this outfit make me look fat?"

GG Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Why is it that the people who believe they have the right to know everything lack the capacity to know anything? Because then they would have to stop asking stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping for some clarification on your one word response. I dont really care either way, but I find this "battle" very interesting. It's been a long time since someone took on a Government at a major level, let alone most Governments of the world! If he were to give out that torrent key, how long do you think he has before he is killed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to give out that torrent key, how long do you think he has before he is killed? Not long. I don't think the US would gun for him (not in Europe, and not this administration under any circumstances), but Assmange has managed to piss off a LOT of countries now that don't have the same scruples. The guy's a complete moron. He's going to end up triggering a war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Assange has done far more damage than Ayers ever dreamed of already. His potential has the chance to go much higher. What would be the consequences of a war in Korea? What with the casualties and the effect on the global economy and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The funniest part, the only reason the kid had access to the information was the Patriot Act and results of 9/11 and sharing information. Oh the irony! Our government is a corrupt cluster-f and they just do not want anyone to know how much. 4chan DDOS's all the time and gets major heat, the US gov does it and it's ok? If anyone visit /b go check it out, m00t dun goof'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how much damage he can cause? Anarchists certainly made a doozy for Russia's imprint on the world from 1850's onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the average sentence of anyone who DDoS's Devil's Advocate... The servers are not in the United States and Assange is not a US citizen. What interest or jurisdiction does the DoJ or any states' Attorney General have? Edited December 1, 2010 by /dev/null Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
