Anonymous may be going too far this time.  The <a href="http://pastebin.com/NKbnh8q8" target="_blank">hactivist group is now threatening</a> to shut down the internet to  protest "SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved  bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of  sheer sadistic fun." If the threat is indeed real, the world's entire  population will suffer Internet withdrawal on March 31 as a result of  the group's crusade.  So how does Anonymous plan to take down the Internet? By hitting the  13 root DNS servers. Thus, the HTTP internet will be disabled because no  one will be able to perform a domain name lookup. "Anybody entering  'http://www.google.com' or ANY other url, will get an error page, thus,  they will think the Internet is down, which is, close enough," the group  writes.  Anonymous claims this will only be a protest, and is not designed to  "kill" the internet. Instead, Anonymous is temporarily shutting the  Internet down "where it hurts the most."   "The principle is simple," Anonymous writes, explaining how the  attack on the 13 DNS servers will be carried out. "A flaw that uses  forged UDP packets is to be used to trigger a rush of DNS queries all  redirected and reflected to those 13 IPs. The flaw is as follow; since  the UDP protocol allows it, we can change the source IP of the sender to  our target, thus spoofing the source of the DNS query."  Anonymous didn't state how long the Internet would be unavailable,  only that it could last mere hours, or extend out for days. "No matter  what, it will be global," the group concludes. "It will be known."  <a href="http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Anonymous-Hactivist-UDP-packets-DNS-Servers-shut-down-the-web,news-14201.html" target="_blank">http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Anonymous-Hactivist-UDP-packets-DNS-Servers-shut-down-the-web,news-14201.html</a></blockquote>
