  1. Wait, aren't these attacks possible from any part of the world? Like it makes it possible for any person sitting at home take part in it

    Edit: nvm i watched the last bit

  2. 2 years later after this aired: ukraine needs bodies, tight border security preventing fighting aged men from fleeing, conscription enforcers everywhere. "ukraines gonna win! give them more of your hard earned tax dollars, america!" – democrats

  3. Well yea your using the same ground internet cables russla installed in your country thats as old as a playstation. Ur gunna have a cyberwar genius.😅😂

  4. This is impressive for a guy who slings tile day to day… interesting how everybody has their Lane on the freeway of life

  5. == =/;/My Lord J.ESUS Returns, repent of sin and OBEY the LAWS of the Father…   Y..A,,H.. is a egiiiiipt DEMON, BEWARE … (HalleluJAH is a PAGAN word);/;/;/;

  6. 3:54 considering you sent Simon Ostrovsky over to Crimea at the time and even made the world aware of Igor Girkin, the mastermind behind the annexation of Crimea and you've whacked in a map there of Ukraine without Crimea (who himself admits that the referendum over there at the time had no desire behind it), it's pretty shameless. If that map was meant to show areas impacted by the cyberattack, then i'd have expected the occupied regions of Donbas to also be coloured out. Joke you lot

  7. Thing with ddos is if an ip pings the site/ip most firewalls then ban ip after the 3rd try. So user has to hijack another server, pc, etc so bEST to have access to many many devices a head of time and remember which rat etc works. Painful. Ddos is old why not do newer? Unless they not saying XD.

  8. So I guess Vice isn’t making new content? I remember when they actually did cool topics. They are clearly only making videos about things that divide people. Sad

  9. If you romantize the protagonist, think about for a DDoS to happen, hacker needs to hack millions of your computers with a virus/malware to make it happen.
