Running something like this will put a big target on your back. I hope you have your network locked down tight.

Not really
If anything they will just block your IP
TotallyHumanPinkySwear@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That is not true. There is nothing illegal about creating massive amounts of traffic to an IP/website. Your comment sounds disingenuous.

Not sure where you got that, but DDOS attacks are, in fact, illegal.
wholookshere@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
no one said anything about legality.
but that this points known hackers at your door.

?? No this is extremely illegal.

As much as I like the idea of this, I don’t really have any way to vet this. That’s not where my skills lie. And I live in a country run by fucking morons that want Russia to win this thing anyway so no traffic coming from my country should be considered trusted any more than this.
While willful participation in a DDOS attack is a literal crime where I live, the greater concern I have is not being able to confirm this does what it says it does and nothing else. We are well beyond the Low Orbit Ion Cannon days.

Is there any way to know this is legit?

Not saying I disagree with the underlying sentiment, but there are too many multi-story buildings in Russia, and for some odd reason, people tend to fall out of windows a lot in Russia. I assume their construction practices might be a bit shoddy. Is there an OSHA equivalent in Russia? Somebody needs to drop a dime.

Wow. At some point you really should use the same amount of energy actually examining what Russia is saying, and thus what is actually happening. Oh well, I guess its just easier to get a fully formed opinion served by propaganda…

It’s hard to hear what they are trying to say over all the gun fire noise.

Don’t listen to what leaders say, watch what they do.
I’d say I’m surprised to read a genocidal take on .ml but that too would be a lie.

It is tribal to block an attack like this if you even manage to make much of a impact at all.
A better use of your network would be running a Tor node or snowflake proxy.
TotallyHumanPinkySwear@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Noted, and why not both? Also, the targets are switched often (from what I’ve seen in the logs), so it may be trivial to block, but the service will be temporarily out for the cost of nothing to me.

any info on intended results/actual results?
