Anonymus with 4Chan defeated their own weapons

The faceless mass of anonymous with 4Chan, DDoS-undesirable sites, became famous for a long time. Some of their actions found a wide resonance among Web users — for example, at the time when they “put up” the RIAA copywriting site, or the site of an Indian company that dealt with DDoS resources with illegal content. All this received the support of Internet users, on Habré it seems like the news slipped with a detailed layout of who and when enthusiasts from 4Chan zaddosili. It was a little different when the forum began to “run over” to the Tumblr resource, promising to “hang up” the service in a short time and for a long time.

So, the attack on Tumblr should have been made at night from Sunday to Monday, which was not particularly hidden. The attack was to be carried out, as usual - a massive posting on the resource-victim of obscene content, video and other things. As a result, the attacked resource is not only “lying” usually for several hours (not so much because of the posting, but because of the additional DDoS attack carried out by the open LOIC software package), then the administration has to spend a lot of time trying to clean out its resource from all nastiness. In general, not a particularly fun night of Tumblr and the users of this service.

As it turned out, Tumblr users are also not badly baked, and they began their own attack on 4Chan, using the same LOIC along the way, plus posting on the forum all kinds of cats, screenshots from Harry Potter and so on. 4Chan servers did not withstand such abuse and "lay down". It turned out to be a very interesting situation - 4Chan itself was unavailable for quite a long time, plus Tumblr was loaded only from time to time, but still felt better than 4Chan.

True, the administration of Tumblr did not approve of the enthusiasm of its users, who participated in the attack on 4Chan, and decided to block accounts that were exposed to such an attack. In general, it turned out not what was expected.
