Is there a way to completely destroy global internet?

Question

I'm not a nut against it! i just wonder if a person could shut down the world's internet(yes i know it aint 1 system) does he have to visit every server in the planet and crash them?

Answer 1

The Mac's would survive



hahaha to all you vulnerable little windows people

Answer 2

No. The entire concept behind the Internet was a global network that could survive a nuclear holocaust. Resiliency and redundant routes ensure that while localized outages are possible, broad scale outages or a global crash would essentially be impossible.



Attempting to "crash" every server on the 'net would be an impossible task. Machines join (and are removed from) the Internet constantly, thousands of times a day. It's a continuously moving target.

Answer 3

Yeah its possible but you'll maybe get tracked down quick before you can do it cause I think they have a program if anyone tries to enter or hack into it goes back to you which tracks them down to you but if you relocate your ip and everything and then try to do it you'll maybe get in also I suggest you do lower protected things before that. One thing after your done I suggest maybe crash your computer after you saved the data you need onto a cd or something.. But its like 99% change you will get caught if you tried to crash the worlds internet.. So I suggest to not do it cause your fine might be max and sentence to jail till death.

One last thing I think he does but it wont be possible to do every server in like a day which will make you get caught..

Answer 4

I suppose if you had the ultimate virus you could get every server infected and shut them down that way but short of something like that I see no way of doing it

Answer 5

not necessarily. id imagine (and i know very little about computers) that all the servers are connected in some way. they cant all act independently, there must be some link between them. chuck a big fat virus into the equasion and hey presto, no more internet. thats how it works in my mind anyway

Answer 6

You could slow it to a crawl it's been done before with virus's like blaster and code red but why would you do that? who is served by crippling the Internet?!



You'd just make alot of People angry and get in serious trouble.

Answer 7

Why would u want to do this when I get all of my medical resources from here!



maybe you are tired of ha ck er s?? and smart viruses??



take a look what i just did!!



OK PROBLEM SOLVED!

I had to do it myself with CA Internet Security Suite!!

--First of all I was correct in stating that new DLL's were being made, but the source of this INFECTIOn were 2 nasty viruses called Win32/VundoCryptorE AND Win32/Alureon.TX--I found them after CA's Firewall told me where to look, and Guess what? I had to use my DOS knowledge to get the info and the ATTRIB command and they were located in my Temporary Internet Files folder, ATTRIB listed them with the 2 variables +S and +H, +H means Hidden! and inside a file called DESKTOP.INI, which does not belong there!

BUT HERE IS THE KICKER!!!

And this was really smart because most Antivirus programs leave alone .INI files!! are supposed to be innocent system files!!!--So then i attempted to redo their attributes, but they wouldnt take.--So then i tried to move the Temp Int Files Folder to another partition..OPTIONS of the browser--Remember those DLL files that were being made, i caught 6 of those 7 DLL files and renamed them to del *****.dll .--

The CA internet suite removed them

System idle process is now down and i have no more lag!!--

One of them even installed itself in my Task Scheduler and set itself up (which is like having an AI programmed into the virus!! incredible it went to such lengths to do its' malicious deeds!!)

So in summary :

1)Shut down Scheduled tasks

2) Remove all instances of the Rundll32.exe file and put them in the Recycle bin

3) Move the Temporoary Internet files Folder to another partition.

4) Get the CA Internet Suite installed and configured for maximum safety, even javascripts i did not allow.

5) I ran all of CA's programs one at a time then configured their firewall.

6) Find and Analyze by dates in specific folders where new files were being modified.
