FB is down

Jeff-Groves · 10-04-21, 02:12 PM

I'm just wondering if a programmer I know is responsible!

According to him? He can drop Nations with some groundbreaking software he has written.

I heard He was going to target China after a test deployment.

He can only affect the server his account is on.

From what I have learned about how fb works your account is placed on a server in your country or in a country near you.

A world wide shutdown indicate it's not a technical problem.

My little sister said it's not the first time FB went down around the globe.

I can't recall it.

If this Guy says he can do it? I believe he can!
He is the BEST programmer I have EVER met in my life!

I'm wonder if he has brought 'Jack the Ripper' online as a test.

I can't get details on this system right now but it's nothing like any of us here have in our homes!
And the software, according to him, will change things in a way no one can comprehend.

According to the news here in Denmark.

FB has problem with their DNS server.

Maybe this could be the reason to why this breakdown is world wide.

You have any idea how many DNS Servers are actually out there?
Or how DNS actually works?
Given one has a powerful enough system and the right software?
One could destroy DNS listings World Wide!

Say that system and software hides it self and continues a World Wide attack.
How could you trace and stop it?

I'd not be surprised if I get a knock on my door from the Feds if JTR is live!

A DNS make you come to the right homepage like subsim.com/radioroom when you enter the name in your URL field. You could also enter subsims ip-adress(numbers) directly.

I could be wrong though.

Edit
Made search on how DNS works and found this

Quote:

DNS allows a domain name to be associated with an IP address. So instead of typing an IP address that consists of a large number of numbers, you can, for example, type Facebook.com in the browser, and then DNS will redirect you to the correct website.

However, it is apparently Facebook's DNS that is down, which is why the website cannot be accessed.

For example, Google has the IP address 172.217.16.67. Here, the DNS Servers ensure that when you enter Google, it is converted to 172.217.16.67.

You are partially correct. But those records are online and can be destroyed!

DOS attacks are one thing. DNS attacks are a whole different thing!
Given one has a system with enough CPU power behind it, a totally new software doing it, and the bandwidth?

Good luck stopping it!

Then add in the fact he is willing to go to prison after he attacks China?
How soon you think he would be stopped?

Here's FB's IP address.
69.171.228.70
