Preliminary analysis I’ve seen shows that a large amount of the DDoS traffic actually originated with the US specifically from a Kansas air force base.
Still trying to get a definitive quotable source to cite here.
Jim, many Very Much depend on your site for reliable news.
Please provide your input on how you envision providing our FR community with three comms objectives:
1. What alternate FR sites should we use in case FR does not resolve due to DNS name resolution problem, or its been taken down?
2. What reliable independent news sources should we access when the Internet is down, ie: shortwave conservative broadcast frequencies, ie: Trunews.com shortwave station, Oath keepers, for instance?
3. In the event when the SHTF, how can fellow FReepers communicate for SITuation REPorting, ie: HF shortwave WinLink email data packet radio transmission, 2 meter voice repeater?
Has this topic come up before and what are your thoughts?
