In a video posted to YouTube on April 28, the Boxmining blogger, who has more than 268,000 subscribers, asked his fans for help in attacking Russian media. Boxmining quickly showed how to download a program called Liberator in no time and take part in the cyberwar against Russia using nothing more than a computer and VPN connection.

The program, created by the hacktivist group disBalancer, uses a user’s computer to attack websites of Russian information sources. Liberator launches a DDoS attack on servers and floods them with repetitive web requests, which can cause web pages to crash or even crash.

It’s worth noting that YouTube prohibits content that depicts the use of computers and IT equipment for hacking, but this policy may apply specifically to instructions about stealing identity information, hijacking personal data, and “serious harm to others” by hacking into their accounts. social networks.
