Imagine A virus/worm that attacks Cisco IOS and Juniper JUNOS (if its not cisco its juniper right?).
Not quite! So many people run Zebra, Quagga, OpenBGPD and others using Unix OS...
Once in the router, it messes with the BGP, ISIS and OSPF routes; using sequence numbers maybe? Causing routers to accept routes pointing to null interfaces and propagate these routes to the neighbors....maybe just maybe...
But why would you want to ensure skunkworks and the likes are no more?
Hehee.. it went down for a few days and everyone pulled out a hankie - to wipe their tears :)
But I guess we all have lost site of the original question!!!!
I do maintain that it is possible to take down the Internet. What is the best way though?
If the whole world agreed (I mean all govts) that the Internet is as evil as it is and so we needed some "quiet" for a week or so, what would be the best way?
Did the OP intend to only get illegal means or is it just we all decided to selectively understand the question?
