There is no attack, anon.

8kun was assigned an IP address that has not been officially assigned to a recognized organization. Routers should never forward anyone to such an address until it has been assigned, not just claimed, assigned.

At the level of nation-states and key backbone ISP providers the default is to assume everyone involved is acting responsibly, so act in good faith with what each is saying to the other. At this level these rules are not taken as mosaical absolutes. They are viewed as guidelines, or gentleman's agreements. As an organizational system it's an echo of the early days of Internet, pre-world wide web, or "clearnet" as we usually call it now-a-days.

The rules in operation here are go like this: "We'll agree to keep everything automated. However, don't make my system/network administrators care what you are doing on your end, or well will fix your problems for you to our own best advantage." Once again, it's much like how the pre-www Internet was administered.

In the old days they had something called "The Internet Death Penalty," which meant all the key aspects of network infrastructure would stop communicating with your organization. This solved whatever problem you were causing with a minimum of fuss to the people who mattered.

Today, it seems everyone is content to merely note there was a "technical glitch," stop routing to that one specific IP, and call it a day. Note: there is an enlightening story here crying out to be discovered. A story about why modern sysadmins have no backbone, and what the modern Internet has become. I'm sure your Q-tards are resourceful enough to bring it all into the light of day.

>I'm not talking about routing! What about DNS?

Tucows is presently the domain registrar for 8kun. Intentionally setting your domain to an invalid IP is not merely a TOS violation, it's a red flag for criminal activity. So they seized the domain name and set the DNS record to nothing. It takes time for all these changes to propagate which is why some few people were still able to reach 8kun for some time afterword. That's that.
