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.

There is only strength in numbers (as a defence, which is what you’re positing) if everyone is informed of the consequences of their actions. If they are not, they can blame you for misleading them.

People aren’t doubting the virtue of your intent but you are speaking very confidently incorrectly about legal matters which doesn’t help your overall appeal.

  It seems so. I guess I do not understand where the many requests/DDoS limit is and the ramifications it may entail in some jurisdictions, although, I explicitly wrote “DDoS” in the title…
  
  I had the impression that as a lone actor, lending CPU cycles, you do not fall into the latter category, since the state-sponsored attack, which I support in this instance, is carried out by a different entity.
  
  Perhaps, you would even argue that you have plausible deniability when accused of carrying out such attacks, just like the proprietor of a hacked device cannot be held liable (I assume). Definitely good to know.
