  Not sure where you got that, but DDOS attacks are, in fact, illegal.

    It’s also most certainly against the terms of service for your ISP, VPN or VPS, so you could get your service terminated.

      Again, no. Fundamentally, there is no difference in you refreshing a page over and over, the strength comes from the distributed aspect of this attack. There’s no limit on the use of bandwidth and this is no base, by any means, to end a contract.

      Of course, you are free to do as you please, but I am aware of how this works and happy to contribute.

        That’s not how laws work at all.

        I am aware of how this works

        No, your absolutely not.

    I see what you mean. Of course this is most probably “illegal”, but I really do not care about the ramifications the Russian Federation could hold me accountable of, especially since they do not have jurisdiction where I live.

  no one said anything about legality.

  but that this points known hackers at your door.

    Ah yes, in that sense my network is locked down super tight. My SecOps is solid by any standard.

      I promise you that your personal security posture is not adequate to keep you protected from a nation state.

        It so happens that my own nation state’s security is in danger of another nation state, so at that point this stops mattering.

  There is nothing illegal about creating massive amounts of traffic to an IP/website.

  ?? No this is extremely illegal.

  • TotallyHumanPinkySwear@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You are right in that purposefully creating massive traffic to a specific website is most probably against some TOS (I would not go so far as to say illegal). Nevertheless, this is war and my contribution, by itself, is insignificant and remains well under the radar.

    This war is very dear to my heart and I wanted to attract some attention to this tool for people who feel the same.

      No, this is not a civil matter or TOS violation. It is a federal crime and felony in the USA under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

        Thank you for your concern. I do not reside in the USA. Certainly, actions that would hinder an oppressive government’s reach would be made illegal, but there is strength in numbers.
