The purge is happening.

This is real.

I suspect that Parler is being DoS attacked.

(Right this second)

You're getting timeouts too

It may be exodus

But yea I can't get a feed

Parler down for me too

SoBs

trump needs to invoke the IA or we will have states secede from this corrupt union

Yep

Secession would be preferable to what we will have

Department of State?

Is that DoS?

Denial of Service attack

What's it mean @Azorian314

Overwhelm the servers

So an exodus could do that very thing, right?

Not sure.

Or does attack imply it's coordinated? Like how do they overwhelm the servers

Send out scripts to have 100,000 other servers from around the world to contact Parler.

Will make the Parler Servers Time Out

Got it

Thank you!

Your welcome

Denial of Service (it’s an attack to use all processing power and resources of a server/servers/network switches/routers/etc., in order to overwhelm the target so badly that no one can utilize it.)

Exactly

I have been thoroughly edumacated

It’s the equivalent of 10,000 people all screaming into your ears at the same time, stopping anyone being able to communicate with you, or you with them.

The defense against that is an Offensive Response. You overload my server and I immediately overload every server that conyacts mine.

That is an incredibly painful illustration, thank you

But usually more than just 10,000. Usually hundreds of thousands.

You’re very welcome.

That's what Azorian said

The more, the more effective.

And the faster the takedown.

People that control these hordes of zombie computers are very dangerous.

Like someone might have infected 5 million computers, worldwide, with a virus or some malware, which gives that person some amount of control over those computers. He can have each of those 5 million computers send a simple request to a web server, simultaneously, and completely knock that website offline, so long as his zombie horde keeps sending requests to that server.

That would be a simple example.

Anyway, I wonder where Trump is, and if we are fucked.

Let’s hope that this does not turn into a kinetic war.
