So if the US killed those women, problem solved? I don't get your logic.

What innocent Americans are you talking about? If trade ships are attacked, maybe. If it's military personnel, none of them are innocent as they are still "following orders".

Problem?
How many innocent lives have been lost to US military action though out the world?
Collateral damage.

Disabling network security and edge devices to change the properties of ingress can absolutely be a component of an attack plan.
Just like overwhelming a postal sorting center could prevent a parcel containing updated documentation from reaching the receiver needing that information.

But maybe there is a different mechanism I'm not aware of. How would the DDoS change the properties of ingress?

Iran pls hack Elon Musk's Twitter account and post "I'm a mean old Nazi who sucks ass at Path of Exile 2"

Yeah good thing the US respects women's autonomy and isn't being strangled by a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to force women to be nothing more than incubators, maids, and fuck toys....

Both of you are right but there's definitely levels to how much worse it is in Iran

DDoS is not hacking

It's been tried. A huge percentage of the internet runs on Amazon web services... And a massive ddos attack on that barely bumped it beyond the level of holiday shopping.
To get anywhere on "taking down the internet" they'd probably have to physically take out many sites across the globe.

schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 16:15 zuletzt editiert vonBy denying access to resources in a primary region, one might force traffic to an alternate infrastructure with a different configuration. Or maybe by overwhelming hosts that distribute BGP configurations. By denying access to resources, sometimes you can be routed to resources with different security postures or different monitoring and alerting, thus not raising alarms. But these are just contrived examples.
Compromising devices is a wide field with many different tools and ideas, some of which are a bit off the wall and nearly all unexpected, necessarily.

schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 16:33 zuletzt editiert vonDon't know why do you say "everyone", I certainly didn't say that. But if you are in the military of a country that is invading other country and continue to be in the military then you are definitely not innocent(though transferring to a different location might be a compromise).

- Hours after the US airstrike on Iranian territory, Iranian-backed hackers took down US President Donald Trump’s social media platform.
- Users were struggling to access Truth Social in the early morning following the alleged hack.
- As the US continues to insert itself into the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, the US government believes more cyberattacks could happen.

Someone should buy truth.social and make it redirect to something trump's base hates.
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 16:48 zuletzt editiert vonReally you should have it direct to a clone of the site, but with fake accounts pushing whatever agenda you want.

Define hacking.
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 16:53 zuletzt editiert vonI'd start with the following, and refine if necessary:
"Gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer resource by technical means."
- Port scanning --> Not hacking because there isn't any access to resources gained*
- Using default passwords that weren't changed --> Not hacking because the resource wasn't protected*
- Sending spam --> Not hacking because there isn't any access to resources gained
- Beating the admin with a wrench until he tells you the key --> Not hacking because it's not by technical means.
- Accessing teacher SSN's published on the state website in the HTML --> Not hacking because the resource wasn't protected, and on the contrary was actively published**
- Distributed denial of service attack --> Not hacking because there isn't any access to resources gained

My comment was intended to imply that the term "hacking" defies definition because it has been grossly overused and misconstrued over many decades.
Sure you might be able to convey what it means to you but of course it means different things to everyone else, with each definition being equally appropriate.
Er go, any discussion is one of semantics.

The Mastodon developers then formally requested that Truth Social comply with the terms of the software license,[75] with Truth Social publishing its source code as a ZIP file on the website on November 12, 2021.
Lol they actually complied with the license in the end, i didnt know that.
