I have never been to nexus. Someone told me about it a few days ago and it was down. How do people know it was anonymous who is attacking?

Could be the government or any religious nut job trying to stop the spread of DTM information like they were planning right before it went down.

Because they admitted to it... look around a bit and or do a search for "Operation Elf Spice" on the goog.
I still don't really understand the point, or the fact that the site is still down for that matter. Have they really been DDOSing non stop for a week now, or do they start up the LOIC again as soon as the admins try to put the site back online?
Either way, what they're doing is no better than the government censoring informational websites, it doesn't matter who does it, it's still violating free speech. Essentially it's no different than the Nazi's and churches burning books to prevent people from being informed. I'm just glad I figured out extraction techs before this happened... If I were the admin of a targeted site, I'd probably not be willing to deal with the headache and wouldn't bother trying to put it back up.

NOTE: The Traveler is--and has been since the beginning of this "raid"--logging each and every IP that attempts to connect to his site. Not a big deal for users who check in a few times daily, but this is very serious to anyone DOSing his site. Also, DOSing through a proxy only denies service to the proxy, not the site you're aiming at. If ANYONE has sent a strangely high number of requests to The Traveler's site, he can and will turn your dox over to the authorities. Make love not war, peeps.
What in the fuck does this mean?
I'm realising, with groups like Anon and all the online communities, the power of the digital world. It's kind of frightening and terribly interesting all at the same time, and it is msot certainly quite anarchic.
I, like pretty much everyone here though, am yet to figure out why the DMT-Nexus is down.
Nobody's even hypothesised, other than someone saying it's for lulz. And, look, I do totally get that, and I'm all for offending anyone and everyone that can be offended to show them that perhaps being offended is a little silly... but what they're doing is blocking access to information, it's kinda tip-toeing the line, ain't it?
Like, when does it change from an intelligent point that is being made against people with too much emotional-investment in to something, to just plain annoying and disrespective of other communities?
It seems to me like those hacker folk out there who like to troll and bug the internet need an equal opposite, all seems a bit one sided to me.

It's really quite intriguing to see these wars in the online world, and the memes and cultural effect that it has IRL.
I don't really understand attacks against information though? Surely the internet is about freedom of information, not attacks against it?
And, as I said, I also understand that the internet is often about breaking people's moral boundaries, but when you just interrupt and fuck with other's property, or threaten others... that's just plain fucked.

Ummm... I got a almost complete google cache of the wiki... sight went down again before I could make a save the wiki pages. Let me know if any one wants a copy.... If enough people are interested I could try rebuilding all the links, or making a fire fox scrap book of it....
Or if the man with the PDF still have the HTML and other files, you should upload the archive of said files, please.
Let me know. ^.^
Hopefully nexus will be up soon. This fagitry is really gay... So is The Traveler still paying for bandwidth while his sights being packet bombed?

Its not software you need, its hardware.
A properly configured firewall with 10 computers running in parallel can hold off over 1 gigabit per second. Which is bigger than any botnet 4chan could muster up.
There are other ways to stop DDoS too such as client size puzzle solving.

Sorry, I'm a tad confused...what are you asking for? Wiki pages that aren't the teks? I can put that together when I get a free moment...is there anything specific? Or do you literally just want all the pages that weren't included in the tek archives pdf?

Lol there are botnets out there with 60k+ IRC bots. If they shelled a server with one of those epic botnets, your one gig would do little to stop it.

Thought I would leave this here
http://www.insurgen.cc/index.php?title=Talk:Operation_Elf_Spice&oldid=5706
And if you know the name of a tek ex: lazyman just search it on google. You can usually find it elsewhere.

We talking about SYN flooding or what?
And what i was talking about actually supports 20Gb/sec. And i said 4chan doesnt have a botnet that big not IRC.
Also they have another service handling 160Gb/sec.
Much harder to DDoS than your average site.

Attached is an alphabetical archiving of the teks located in the Nexus wiki along with the FAQ and Chemical Compounds info, I'm debating putting together a few more depending on my free moments and how long we're going to have to operate out of the public sphere.

To all the thank you's, you're very much welcome, happy extracting! 
The Nexus prides itself in spreading information and working towards harm-reduction...they can DDoS us all they want, but we're still gonna get that info out there

So Snozz, do you have any idea how much longer this is going to go on for? I can't imagine they are still constantly DDoSing dmt nexus, maybe they have used up all available bandwidth, and the server can't run?
I hope it won't last much longer, Id like to hear from the traveller, i think he has an account on here.
anyway, peace and love, SMOALKMOAR
