  23. To protest SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved
  24. bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of
  25. sheer sadistic fun, On March 31, anonymous will shut the Internet down.


  29. In order to shut the Internet down, one thing is to be done. Down the
  30. 13 root DNS servers of the Internet. Those servers are as follow:

  32. A 198.41.0.4
  33. B 192.228.79.201
  34. C 192.33.4.12
  35. D 128.8.10.90
  36. E 192.203.230.10
  37. F 192.5.5.241
  38. G 192.112.36.4
  39. H 128.63.2.53
  40. I 192.36.148.17
  41. J 192.58.128.30
  42. K 193.0.14.129
  43. L 199.7.83.42
  44. M 202.12.27.33

  46. By cutting these off the Internet, nobody will be able to perform a
  47. domain name lookup, thus, disabling the HTTP Internet, which is,
  48. after all, the most widely used function of the Web. Anybody entering
  49. "http://www.google.com" or ANY other url, will get an error page,
  50. thus, they will think the Internet is down, which is, close enough.
  51. Remember, this is a protest, we are not trying to 'kill' the Internet,
  52. we are only temporarily shutting it down where it hurts the most.

  54. While some ISPs uses DNS caching, most are configured to use a low
  55. expire time for the cache, thus not being a valid failover solution
  56. in the case the root servers are down. It is mostly used for speed,
  57. not redundancy.

  59. We have compiled a Reflective DNS Amplification DDoS tool to be used for
  60. this attack. It is based on AntiSec's DHN, contains a few bugfix, a
  61. different dns list/target support and is a bit stripped down for speed.

  63. The principle is simple; a flaw that uses forged UDP packets is to be
  64. used to trigger a rush of DNS queries all redirected and reflected to
  65. those 13 IPs. The flaw is as follow; since the UDP protocol allows it,
  66. we can change the source IP of the sender to our target, thus spoofing
  67. the source of the DNS query.

  69. The DNS server will then respond to that query by sending the answer to
  70. the spoofed IP. Since the answer is always bigger than the query, the
  71. DNS answers will then flood the target ip. It is called an amplified
  72. because we can use small packets to generate large traffic. It is called
  73. reflective because we will not send the queries to the root name servers,
  74. instead, we will use a list of known vulnerable DNS servers which will
  75. attack the root servers for us.

  77. DDoS request ---> [Vulnerable DNS Server ] <---> Normal client requests
  78. \
  79. | ( Spoofed UDP requests
  80. | will redirect the answers
  81. | to the root name server )
  82. |
  83. [ 13 root servers ] * BAM

  85. Since the attack will be using static IP addresses, it will not rely
  86. on name server resolution, thus enabling us to keep the attack up even
  87. while the Internet is down. The very fact that nobody will be able to
  88. make new requests to use the Internet will slow down those who will try
  89. to stop the attack. It may only lasts one hour, maybe more, maybe even
  90. a few days. No matter what, it will be global. It will be known.


  94. download link in #opGlobalBlackout


  98. The tool is named "ramp" and stands for Reflective Amplification. It is
  99. located in the \ramp\ folder.

  101. > Windows users

  103. In order to run "ramp", you will need to download and install these two
  104. applications;

  106. WINPCAP DRIVER - http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
  107. TOR - http://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bundles/

  109. The Winpcap driver is a standard library and the TOR client is used as
  110. a proxy client for using the TOR network.

  112. It is also recommended to use a VPN, feel free to choose your own flavor
  113. of this.

  115. To launch the tool, just execute "\ramp\launch.bat" and wait. The attack
  116. will start by itself.

  118. > Linux users

  120. The "ramp" linux client is located under the \ramp\linux\ folder and
  121. needs a working installation of python and scapy.


  125. "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither."
  126. Benjamin Franklin

  128. We know you wont' listen. We know you won't change. We know it's because
  129. you don't want to. We know it's because you like it how it is. You bullied
  130. us into your delusion. We have seen you brutalize harmless old womans who were
  131. protesting for peace. We do not forget because we know you will only use that
  132. to start again. We know your true face. We know you will never stop. Neither
  133. are we. We know.

  135. We are Anonymous.
  136. We are Legion.
  137. We do not Forgive.
  138. We do not Forget.
  139. You know who you are, Expect us.

    I would like to see this happen! The internet wont really be shutdown though. If you know the IP address of said website, you could still get there.

    But I too would like to see it happen, would be very interesting.

    Any one who know Anonymous knows this is not how they act and is not the kind of stunt they would pull.

    Most DNS servers cache requests as they pass through them, meaning that taking down the 13 root servers would actualy not have the inpact people would expect.

    Most peoples DNS point to there ISP, and many ISPs could continue serving the majority of DNS requests with out the need of the ROOT servers.

    Yeah.. taking down the root DNS servers would basically do nothing. It may impact a very small amount for a limited time but that's it.

    Cool story brah. Most of the DNS servers (well, the ones I've seen) are caching the zones for 24h - that's more then enough. Also, I really doubt that this is coming from Anonymous.

    It would be quite cumbersome. First, you'd need to have a list. Second, you'd need to add them as A records to a local DNS record or add them to your hosts file. HTTP host headers are often required to access some web sites; browsing directly to an IP address is not always an option.

    As others are pointing out, this would depend on ISPs' failure to just cache everything. With this kind of forewarning, I suspect many, if not most ISPs will be able to respond to this, and I bet Google and Open DNS could take up the slack. Sure, the will be outages, but to say the Internet or Web will be down is exaggeration.

    Meh, why bother giving them attention. I wouldn't be surprised if there are government elements at work within Anonymous to exploit them as a tool to exert more control and regulation on the Internet.

    Supposedly "operation global blackout" was a hoax.
    Anonymous is not taking down the Internet | ZDNet

    In any case, March 31 came and went and the Internet is (obviously) still here.

    That would have been fun... I use TShark as a service on my system to capture DNS traffic. I do it watch for naughty things happening on my computer, but I could have reviewed the PCAP files to get all of the IP addresses that I need to perform my daily routine.
