"Pizza bombing" is term that encompasses techniques employed by insurgents to inundate marks with pizzas (or other delivered fast-food items) ordered from an online form.
Execution Methods[edit]
Telephone[edit]
For extensive tips, see Prank calls. This is the obvious (and traditional) method. Thusly, it is the most often AVOIDED method (see below).
TACTICAL PITFALLS:
- Most calling methods lack anonymity (read Prank calls to work around this).
- Calling is incompatible with macro software (It would be much too cumbersome to program a "pizza bomb via telephone" script).
Online Forms[edit]
This technique employs the use of online order forms to place your order and special requests.
TACTICAL ADVANTAGES:
- Compatible with macros.
- Offers more anonymity than telephone method (Read PITFALLS for details).
- Ludicrous "special requests" can be added to most online order forms (read SUCCESS STORIES for examples).
TACTICAL PITFALLS:
- This method can reveal the IP address of the insurgent.
- To avoid and work around this pitfall, use anonymity-preserving tactics (The use of proxies will typically suffice).
- This method may tempt an insurgent to abuse the form (by ordering enormous amounts of products from one service in a short amount of time), which may result in complete ignorance on behalf of the delivery service.
- To avoid and work around this, simultaneously order typical portions from multiple forms (from SEPARATE delivery services).
- Dominos has been reported as employing Flash objects on their form's page to bypass a proxy.
- To work around this pitfall, disable Flash while enabling JavaScript (via NoScript or a similar utility).
- Pizza Hut's order form has been reported to be enormous in size, rendering the utilization of a proxy quite hindering for an insurgent.
- To work around this, you may want to use CURL to submit the forms.
Examples of Success[edit]
- This technique was employed during the raid of WitnessX. Insurgents used the online order form to specify that they needed to write "/b/" with toppings on the pizza and exclaim, "Pool's closed!" when they opened the door.
- This led the mark's mother to believe the pizza was poisoned. She called the police in her panic, showing that minor steps can prove to be lucrative.
