Script Kiddies With A Cause: 149 DDoS Attacks Because Apparently Nobody Knows How To Configure A Fucking Firewall

Oh for fuck’s sake. Just when I thought my week couldn’t get any more shit-encrusted, some politically motivated paste-eaters decide to have a digital pissing contest across 16 countries. One hundred and forty-nine DDoS attacks hitting 110 organizations because apparently, every sysadmin on the planet has forgotten that Cloudflare exists, or they’re too busy counting their bonus cheques to implement basic rate limiting while Rome fucking burns.

These hacktivist wankers—running their glorified LOIC scripts from mommy’s basement while pretending they’re fucking cyber warriors—decided to “protest” the Middle East conflict by making sure some poor bastard in IT has to spend his weekend rebooting Apache servers instead of watching the game. Pro-Palestinian groups, pro-Israeli groups, everyone’s having a go at the DDoS piñata, and guess who gets to clean up the digital diarrhea? That’s right, me. And probably you, if you’re unlucky enough to be reading this instead of doing something useful like drinking heavily until the packet loss stops.

And don’t give me that shit about “sophisticated attacks.” It’s a fucking DDoS. It’s the digital equivalent of stuffing a toilet paper roll into the office loo and flushing until the ceiling leaks. It requires the technical skill of a concussed hamster, yet here we are, with 110 organizations acting like they’ve been deep-fingered by the NSA when really it’s just some spotty teenager with a rented botnet and a grudge against decent society.

The best part? Half these targets probably still have “admin/admin” as their router credentials and wonder why their shit’s getting pushed in every time someone in the Middle East sneezes. Buy. A. Fucking. DDoS. Mitigation. Service. It’s not rocket science, it’s not even bottle-rocket science, it’s just basic hygiene—like wiping your arse or not clicking on emails from “Nigerian Princes” offering you a timeshare in Mogadishu.

Reminds me of the time I “accidentally” routed the company’s DDoS traffic through the CEO’s personal IP address during a “routine stress test.” Funny thing, he stopped demanding we cut the cybersecurity budget after his smart fridge started ordering fifteen thousand dollars worth of bulk tofu and his doorbell cam got flooded with 4K footage of Rick Astley. The bastard couldn’t even complain to HR because technically, I was “following the disaster recovery protocol” he’d rubber-stamped without reading. Which specifically stated: “Redirect all malicious traffic to the highest priority node available.” And since his home office was classified as “critical infrastructure” in his own PowerPoint… well, oops. My fucking bad.
