Operation OverLOLd
What's that old truism? "They aren't making any more IP addresses"...? Well, this is it, soldiers. Word has come down from the Executives: it's time for the big push. We're crossing into MonolithiCorp's Class A address space tonight to take as many as five Class B ranges. SIGINT believes they are in the process of physically relocating their New England data center, so we will be attacking networks in the dot-150's while real-time IT support levels are reduced. As a diversionary assault, a wave of support tickets will be opened regarding dropped connections on their dial-in lines. There will additionally be DoS fire support during the actual landing itself.
The overall operational goal is to take the entire Class B 150 range, then press for armistice in the hopes of establishing new borders. The initial landing points will be the routers at dots 151, 155, and 159, referred to in your separate unit briefings by the operational labels Redmond, Cupertino, Mountain View. Secondary landings at dots 153 and 157 (codenamed Tokyo and Kyoto) will provide reinforcement and hopefully punch through to the interior network. Recent packet-sniffing indicates the enemy is largely defending with Linksys M70s but are likely to be upgrading to doubly-redundant Cisco 88s as part of this NOC move. If those unit replacements have already occurred in the existing NOC, the initial landings can certainly expect to encounter heavy filtering and substantial loss of signal.
Upon access, you are to secure and replace the router firmware and establish a secure VPN tunnel to the inner system. When the tunnel is in place, you are free to enter the main network to take and hold as many user accounts as possible and desired. Soldiers may take for themselves as much porn, music, video, and other recreational data as they wish from individual computers, but there is to be no identity theft or credit card fraud. You may loot these users, not rape them.
You'll find your separate unit briefings in email shortly. Good luck.

For consideration: We have seen the enemy and he is 127.0.0.1
