All the internet is, is a network between computers out side of your local biulding. So by that you could not totally take down the internet, as you would have to take down every single provider and every single internet modem in the world. Long story Short, alot of work. CLose to impossible.

It is like television destroied. If the search engines will be virused,or non-existing some way, the Internet will be crash ..

Not sure, But it was similar to the internet being destroyed. Right after Sept 11 the government shut down access to the internet, as far as I know, it shut down everywhere, and Big Business was pissed as well. I heard Escalon was involved in its shutdown. I know it started a stir online once it was turned back on, It's shuttdown was something noone knew could even happen. I am wondering if it was shut down just inthe US or all over, or just certain areas in the US. Just a thought.

It's Impossible

if you mean possible you alone then no. but if your a terrorist group maybe.

destory all connection going outside a country of all countries. and then destroy the internet one by one.


also destorying the transmission lines by just 50mins will maxout the bandwith and cause the server to crash. so i think it's possible but highly unlikely.

We gotta be really unlucky for that to happen, impossible i think.

There isn't a way to take down the internet. Not permanently anyway. The most you can do is take out an area at a time by destroying the systems at an Internet Hosting Provider. Even then you wouldn't really be able to destroy it all completely. People would still have the internet. Plus without Internet, the economy would drop, communication would have to go back to telephone, and all hell would break loose.

Life would be boring without internet x_X

I definitely think that the internet could be destroyed. The only way of destroying it that I can think of, is by a super mega ultra virus, capable of attacking all the internet servers at a very super ultra fast speed all at once. This virus would be capable of destroying all information on the servers regardless of the operating system, but I doubt something like that would be very hard to do. The creators would have to have knowledge of many types of operating systems and ..... but now that I think about it.... many hosting providers have all their information backed up.... So I guess that even if they destroy the information on these servers, they could easily restore the information and the virus would be no good.... Now I have to think on another idea to destroy the internet...

my friend the internet can never be destroyed it is apart of everything we do

That is a silly answer. The internet is mainly held up by a large array of huge computers called the "backbone" of the internet. These computers are powerful, and well protected, and thus, very difficult to attack. But coupled with this is the fact that many of them have backups, meaning that anything you change would soon be up again. Also, there is a hellava lot of them. And it's not so easy to trace each and every one, as the tracert paths would be different depending from where you connect.

A "mega super virus" wouldn't destroy the internet. A virus can only be sent through certain routes, and only if allowed through. Even if you wrote a virus that can enter port 80, and infect the webserver, the rest of the computer could isolate it, and clean it. Getting through that would take a lot of programming on the virus side.

And to destroy the whole internet would mean you need to DoS attack every single backbone computer (or at least more than 6/7th of it I believe) which is quite impossible to do. As you attack one, the other will have already been restored.
