It is disturbing how the moderators of HN are condoning the comments in this thread (the top comment by 'neonsunset' provides tools that enable DDoSing a foreign government website) that are encouraging cyber warfare against a nation-state that is considered an 'enemy' of their state (the USA).

Had a Russian/enemy state website had a similar thread that condoned cyber-attacks against the USA critical infrastructure, they would be flagged as terrorists and 'empire' publications like major US newspapers would be all over it as "war against the USA".

All this bluster from capitalists merely reflects hypocrisy.

Look up the difference between belligerent and victim, and the word compassion.

I don't see why you're dragging another political topic, capitalism, into the conversation when it's about thwarting what you call terrorists. It seems flamebaity but I'm replying in the hope you're seriously interested in the conversation.
