DDoS attacks

richfags with high end video cards can analyze programs and source code for vulnerabilities and develop attack methods offline and out of sight.
I can say pretty safely, nah. I dont even think the datacenter scale models are really quite there. theyre really good at taking key bits of information and generating the boiler plate to execute some routine idea, but decompilation, rewriting the crap ass machine generated code from that decomp, and actually sifting out vulnerabilities is really outside its capabilities, especially if the binary author spent any time doing non-trivial obfuscation techniques, which is a massive unbelievably huge can of worms in itself.

But to your point, AI can definitely help you write some scripts to orchestrate a bunch of machines to do shit at once, thats no problem.

I think it would be sound to start spamming out the onion link externally at every opportunity, pinned on your twitter, telegram, in the descriptions of your streams across all platforms. How-to-guides for lazy retards, make the link as accessible as possible.
The hand holding is necessary and needs to be drilled in.
I didn't use the link.
I just opened Tor and put kiwifarms.st into the address bar...

Was that not supposed to work?
 
It's worth letting events play out for a time, in my opinion. Large, powerful, monetized botnets get a lot of attention and tend to have an expiration date.
 
I mentioned Gab earlier in this thread and Torba reports they were attacked as well.

Gab e-mailed this to their users:
This week we faced yet another coordinated attack on Gab.

Starting earlier this week, we noticed a growing spike in our compute usage for Gab AI. This morning it jumped significantly. Our engineering team traced the source back to a system of hundreds of Gab AI accounts created in bulk as part of a sophisticated foreign operation. The goal was simple: extract the initial free credits we provide to new users, hit our developer API programmatically, and fire a single large request at one of the most expensive AI model providers available.

They were trying to rob us of tens of thousands of dollars in compute costs and they almost succeeded.

We shut it down before they could drain us completely, but the damage was real. Thousands of dollars gone in a matter of hours to bad actors who do this for a living. These are the kinds of attacks we face daily just to keep Gab online and running smoothly. Two weeks ago the attack was at the infrastructure level, this week it's a wave of foreign programmatic bots draining our resources.

We do not have big institutional investors, corporate advertisers, or special interests bankrolling us. Gab is supported by you. Without the community, none of this works. Month to month, we scramble. A predictable revenue stream would change everything for our ability to invest in infrastructure, security, and development.

If Gab matters to you, the single best thing you can do right now is set up a recurring monthly donation. It gives us stability and allows us to focus on building instead of constantly putting out fires.

I'm not going to sell you my $7 figure AI powered AI protection service if you keep talking like that.

But seriously, these tools do give a lot of leverage to attackers, even if it's not at the level of having the NSA-in-a-box hype that's going around. My own limited experience with vibecoding has been hit and miss. Sometimes it's like majic and sometimes I'm reverting changes after burning 30,000,000 tokens. Skill issue no doubt.

When you connect to the tor network, you secure a circuit, which is effectively an entry and exit point. When you put in a clearnet address, you go through the circuit, then the exit node goes to that clearnet site and sends that back to you, so youre just adding more hops that make tracking you alot harder, but youre taking the path thats currently under attack.

When you use a tor address, your exit node connects to another circuit thats the site's circuit for you, so a tor connection looks like:
(you) -> (your circuit) -> (peer's circuit) -> (peer)
likewise the peer responds on the reverse of this path.
 
Alright, now that I've had the chance to go touch some grass (literally -- yardwork), I think I feel a little better.

The core problem is that KF is what you could call an 'outlaw' in the old style sense. We have little protection from abuse; the normal systems are not available to us and the law, well, it's not going to help unless its hand is forced.

If the feds were willing to ignore Whitey Bulger's shenanigans, they will not give a shit about some website getting hammered.

I do think we need to start pushing back. A lot of information appears solely on the website; it might be time to start disseminating it. Twitter does give us an access point, and while I doubt Elon is going to go to bat for KF, doing document dumps on a few of the most loathsome troons might get the rest to back off.

My only caution is if we take that step, make damned certain all the stuff is legit. No speculation, no 'this guy told me'. You need court documents, archived posts, news stories. Because I guarantee one of those faggots will file a defamation claim.
 
Seeing lolipedos celebrate this is blackpilling. I guess it's only free speech when you want to beat off to anime children.

Gab e-mailed this to their users:
I have reached out to Andrew Torba maybe 100 times and he ignores me. Rumble ignores me. Nobody wants to work together. Nobody wants to share resources. Nobody wants to listen. Everyone wants to be the based Internet superhero and get 100% of the credit, so we're all going to eat shit forever.
