I did a job which involved configuration and migration of a key piece of infrastructure the week after 911 in D.C. for an entity that managed all IP addresses for a large segment of the internet backbone.
I can remember getting in the cab at Dulles and discovering the cab driver was Afghan. Oh Joy!
All information provided to me was on a need to know basis. Determining workloads as necessary to make performance and capacity configuration decisions was difficult.
Incidentally, the day before I flew up to DC, I got into a bar fight, and had two black eyes. I looked like Rocky Racoon. Before you ask, let me just say, you should have seen the other guy.
I remember a discussion around potential need to setup ICM, (Internet Cluster Manager) for mail server, and was told they could not provide me key information I needed to make model that out against infrastructure capacity , and I can remember telling them something like , "look, I have the admin passwords for the servers, if I wanted to I could destroy them. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous that your withholding information I need to do my job. They lamented and gave me what I needed.
The most unusual thing was that I had to work in a fishbowl like room surrounded by armed guards who never took their eyes off of me. When I had to go to the bathroom, an armed guard escorted me to the bathroom and stood there while I did my thing.
When I got to site, I was searched, and when I left I was searched, and I mean searched like that dude where the cop ask, "what is this", and the searched said, "That's my penis man."
Essentially 8chan was using CloudFlare fkr CDN service to protect against DDoS etc. I have connections to CloudFlare. When CF claimed they were terminating their arrangement with 8Chan they cited racism etc. in truth CF was unable to handle the DDoS activities. 8chan was so attacked that it was taking down the CloudFlare infrastructure and causing issues with their other clients. They terminated because of risk of vital functional insolvency.
Now came in VanwaTech. A small no name CDN managed to mitigate these same DDoS attacks in stride.
I have made numberous contacts with VanwaTech. Every time a single person. Their network also routed through 11.11.18.x several times.
Keep in mind in this same timeline was when 8chan/8kun owner was summoned to Congress and spoke behind closed doors - and nobody talked.
During a time of leaks the owner of 8chan speaks to congress and nobody says shit? That’s telling. You would expect leaks, abuse, whatever - instead nothing like they were terrified of what they heard.
Thanks for this reply. My only regret in life was not finding Q earlier. These must have been some exciting times, especially for a techie!
I don't know why, but VanwaTech sounds so familiar. I am a techie too, and I am trying to think if I came across them while working for some client ...
BTW, I notice they also provide VPN service. I have pretty much decided not to trust any VPNs, but given this info, and the strong suspicion that VanwaTech is a military operation, perhaps their VPN would be really secure. What do you think?
Honestly - hitting digs in real time and me and other had our own monitoring software for q posts and other high priority anon postings.
Participation in the hive mind was a really really unique experience. It’s funny how shitt PHP code yielded such a wild social dynamic. It had to scare the shit out of intel agencies.
Also irrefutably saw proof the OP was real.
VanwaTech has a free VPN to checkout. Just install OpenVPN and throw the *OVPN file kn there - it will route you.
Their paid VPN service is $5 and no limits. You can pass around the profile to friends and family so it’s worth it. They use WHMCS for billing so I can promise you that it’s discreet with your info ( I may or may not work for them or their holding company heh )
The dig swarms were absolutely nuts.
Q was using Machine Mearning in the least. They were seeing and catching specific posts when the buns were filling in seconds and never missed things on topic. Impossible to do without Machine Learning looking for keywords & Phrases.
We also know they were identifying people in real time. If you posted they knew who you were regardless of if you hid behind 7 VPNs or not. People got calls.
Correct.
Also remember that VanwaTech and 8Kun had a block of 11.11.18.x and routed through 17 hops for awhile.
We were freaking about that one.
8kun literally routed through the DoD for a bit.
Was around the time some really crazy posts were dropping that we postulated were machine learning related

There are no coincidences.
That’s a coolio story 😎

Yes sir, Mr. Grammerfag
Who else here reads "correct" and hears it in Trump's voice? I love that word now.
I missed this. Roughly what timeframe was this?
It was during the de-platform From CloudLinux.
VanwaTech is a very very very interesting dig.

For sure.
