Let's consider the general communication infrastructure:
Such a tool, like DNS hijacking, would shut down access to websites for most people. The reason is that DNS is nothing more than an elaborate phonebook with some added features, like nepharious website listing, HTTPS, add killing.
Those a bit more savvie, have an alternative. A host file, containing the IP address and the www address.
On the other hand: millions of companies are running on windows type operating systems. Windows 10 clearly is a leaking basket with security holes in there the size of mars.
To usher in a Great Reset, how nice would it be to blame an outside event, causing bank computers to shut down (Think RATs: Remote Access Trojan's).
An event where only Emergency services function in a multi prong attack, (Remember, WEF Klaus Schwab is openly discussing this, and of course, it can be blamed on Russia), to take out targetted sites and computers with two goals:
-1. commerce cannot be done, lest they are affiliated with the GR, so, Amazon, etc will probably function. But alternatives won't. Online pay: only the .GR approved systems probably will work.
Certain shops only allow entry to pick up goods IF you have ordered and paid online. What if that no longer works? At least in bricolage, business halts. Ordering take out is done for , in such a scenario.
Could they totally take everything out? Yes. Probable? Well, why not. If no commerce can be done, the system falls, and within a couple of days they can role out their solution, accepted by all those who wish to resume business (their interest). How about online delivery of healthcare?
It also allows countries to declare a state of emergency, and under emergency powers, all kinds of mandates can be required, like: only people in pink thongs and silly walks can go to a food dispensary.
Of course, all trading will be halted. billions in fiat currency will be burned. But ..... Build back better, right
-2. Those with crypto, would do well to consider this angle and the potential security and operating risk this represents
-3. Windows, Android, IOs, devices will be main targets and easy to penetrate through malware.
Those you trust the most.
Yes, AntiVirus/ Anti Malware companies. It is important to understand the role Cloudflare is playing in both the Ddos defense and their role in spreading malware. Your business website is secured by Cloudflare to prevent ddos attacks etc. Suddenly, a massive attack happens and they fail. It is important to think about your fallback and mitigation strategy.
Consider then, how you may be impacted and how you can mitigate its effects.
-4. Darkweb still may work. So, considering how you could access I2P, Lokinet, Ygdrassil, etc, should be part of your toolbox. If you have not reviewed information on how it works, how to set it up, how to operate it, and how it can help you connect online, you should do so, now, today.
There is a technology and privacy .win site where you can find a boatload of information, how to improve your security, howto learn new skills and howto keep up.
And maybe indeed, we should learn how to connect through HAM and run an internet alternative, or through different types of meshnetworks.
Combine the event with a 5G induced radiation sickness disguised as the x-wave of Covid. Not only would they able to mandate wearing masks, but also pink thongs and silly walks. And yes, many people will simply obey without question but with a lot of post hoc justification.
This is not to doom. This is to describe the state in which we are, and identify vulnerabilities.
For those looking for something more exotic. But beware. Everything you allow a service provider to do for you, can be blocked, hacked, abused, limited, etc. So, understand what you are doing!
I will add a couple of remarks:
HTTPS over DNS is a nice feature, but you would have to check your browser what exactly you can manipulate and what not. It may mean you have to discard your current favorite browser.
You may also be interested in looking into text based browsers.
Why? Because many new browsers out there, have a strenuous relationship with hostfiles, as it would normally direct internet traffic, however, certain browsers simply override it.
To understand the routing, consider using a type of traceroute command. It will show you the route your address request is travelling. It teaches you quite a great deal.
When you change your DNS in your browser, your search results may change too. Also the speed in resolution may change, either quicker or slower, depending on the DNS provider.
It would also be a smart thing to have alternative OS's ready. New releases can simply be downloaded as an iso, with all available programs on a 4G large iso-disk.
The things you may find along your investigation, may prompt you to re-assess your current OS and what to do about it.
So, approach it from the position of learning something new everyday, and try out something new.
They don't even need to bring down every single thing. Have a little check at the biggest websites on the internet, and their share of world-wide traffic. Nuke Jack, Nuke the Zucc, Nuke Google, Nuke Bezos. If you include all the services they own (Youtube, Whatsapp,Twitch,Gmail and others ), you'd grind the internet to an almost halt. Still, I'm hoping for a total blackout.
It could very well be the case.
I happen to think it is part of the toolbox.
