Operation: Payback Is A Bitch

Operation: Payback Is a Bitch was started after the MPAA hired aiplex to DDOS TPB.

Strategies

Firstly a lone anon managed to DoS and crash the Aiplex website. He left a message to attack mpaa.org. We have since moved onto other targets and currently using a modified LOIC utility with Hive abilities.

Tools: Low Orbit Ion Cannon

Longcat Flooder

Modified LOIC: http://github.com/newfag/loic

Status

Aiplex and MPAA went down at 9PM EST 17 September 2010, or 1 AM GMT 18 September 2010. MPAA stayed down for 18 hours before moving to a new IP and coming back online.

RIAA is still down as of 1:30 AM GMT (9:30 PM EST). The database-based CPU raep by forcing the server to dump a huge list of titles probably helped a lot on that. Aiplex went down, and is intermittently down. It is still really slow, we need moar lazors to keep it up. MPAA is healthy, do something!

10 PM EST 19 September 2010: RIAA still down, Aiplex, only slowed down. MPAA up.

Throughout September 23rd, 2010: Davenport Lyons were on and offline, attacks on TMG.eu failed.

Last two days: Attacks on AiPlex and ACS:Law have been occurring.

This operation will probably tie in with Operation Baylout, as well as Project Skynet.

Targets

Current targets are ACS:Law and AiPlex.

AiPlex I.P. Address to target is 122.181.180.181

ACS:Law I.P. Address to target is 174.127.67.207
