>Over the past year or two, someone has been probing the defenses of the companies that run critical pieces of the Internet. These probes take the form of precisely calibrated attacks designed to determine exactly how well these companies can defend themselves, and what would be required to take them down. We don't know who is doing this, but it feels like a large nation state. China or Russia would be my first guesses.
Oh fuck guys, what do we do?
Stupid frogposter.
would actually be okay with this
no matter what they do im sure some small obscure nets would surface, at the very least locally
would be cool to experience the old obscure web again
first off, its most likely the NSA tryna test BS so that they can just kill whatever they want whenever they want
BUT if that is or isn't the case there is enough infrastructure that intelligent kids will be able to still host and access shit
> so git gud
this
unlikely, the NSA is usually more covert, they wouldn't probe this aggressively against US assets.
Time to start stocking up on cat6 and ethernet extenders, boys
Once this shiternet goes down we shall rebuild
actually now that i think about it, if all i would have was a local net it would probably be shit
only being able to talk to a bunch of swedes would be awful

Another false flag, fear mongering in order to strip you cucks into giving up your Internet rights and online freedoms too.
We would probably end up with each city being its own network and being connected to the neighbouring cities through a fatter pipe
Good thing I saved all that porn
it's all me
what are you going to do about it?
also, some of you folks are alright, don't go to wikipedia on 9/11/2017
>China or Russia would be my first guesses
good goy
>Samsung 1 and Samsung 2 in incorrect order
how would you even take down all the IX points in the world
>Incorrect order
depends on who you ask
>caring about the drive label
Massive simultaneous hacks requiring nation state level resources
>the entire web would be country music and minion mom memes
JUST
>NSA probing internet lines
>Blame it on China/russia
>China
>Russia
Kek
Good, the internet was a bad idea anyway.
> Internet goes down
> market opens up for all your porn archives
FUCKING YES
HURRY UP AND HAPPEN
>China or Russia
or America, fucking obviously
Why the fuck does everyone always assume it's a country doing this shit?
Why always Russia or China?
In reality it's most likely a bored basement dweller with a botnet.
This. Fucking ugabugas falseflagging again.
>murrica believes this
M-muh NSA is on USA's peoples side
Good luck taking down the internet when we're all using quantum entanglement modems in a distributed network.
Because americans are doing this and they are trying to make you think is china or russia doing this.
I imagine all three of those are trying things like that. I mean why shouldn't they, they spend stupid amount of money on their security teams, might as well let them play. Heck, if big parts of the net stopped working maybe people would realize how fucking stupid it is to have everything at a few centralized places.
Rly make u think
such internets would be so shit, running out of content so quickly it would render it useless.
True, but the American government has the most to gain by shutting down the internet as a whole. Russia and China are fine censoring it. In America they can't do that, so they'd have to take down the whole thing
>internet
>content
hello rebbit
what, do you prefer to tip my fedora and call it intranet? fucking lol nigger
They aren't on the peoples side, but they are on the US's economies side.
US businesses are what are setting US policy, and you'd be stupid to think the NSA doesn't know where it's money comes from (The US tax payers, and corporations paying taxes in the US).
NSA actively tries to defend US corporations from international threats, mainly aimed at corporate espionage to gain economic advantages.
>internet goes down
>blockbuster and sex shops that sell dvds return from the grave
If the internet went down it would be easy to "rise again"
Collaberation with Project Meshnet and Archive.org. Big sites like facebook already have metric fucktons of backups, but the traffic would throttle the meshnet. Ideally they would be replaced by forums. Other static sites can be restored by using archive.org. copies of software like wordpress could also be made avaliable.
Good. Let the age of decentralization begin.
Hopefully the latest hentai collection will get down before that.
I hope Russians make their own Internet. I can't stand this American-centered cuckhole.
>some skiddie runs nmap a few times
>SOMEONE IS TAKING DOWN THE INTERNET
okay.
And thus they need control.
It's alphabetical. T is before O.
Dumbass.
>T is before O
What
this.
...
the internet is not a place you go to consume content. It is for communication
the fact that you think of spending time on the internet as
>I'll go to websites and consume content
means you're probably a redditor
>China or Russia would be my first guesses.
More like USA and/or Soros.
yes but good luck rebuilding the internet without an IBM 5100
>someone
That's a strange way to say United State of America
The burgers are upset because we stole the government of internet.
They're trying as much as they can to have a minimum of control. Typical fatass logic displaying in any blockbuster nowadays.
Ok but serious talk for a moment,
The internet goes down completely, how who you go to make one ? What will you need ?
Or what will you need to connect to a new small dark internet ?
I think i'll just wait, trying to pick up a wifi every now and then but there's no way to know when it'll be up
>qmesh is taking longer than usual to entangle a connection
It took me a second guys but I got it
Two starts with a T
One starts with an O
T comes before O
Obviously it's completely wrong but still.
Hm
Someone very close to you... perhaps even tou yourself... is falling for media scare tactics and disinformation
Literally could only happen if the entangled quark fell into a black hole
