Operation Trololol, or Operation Balkhi was a raid in the Talibans official Twitter, @ABalkhi. Over 80+ forumers of 4chan or ‘’Imperial Guards’’ participated in the event, with the attempt to make the Talibans shut down their Twitter.
On 5th of January of 2014, a forumer posted in 4chan’s /b/ board, pointing out that the Talibans have Twitter. People remarked that the Talibans should shut it down, thus making images of invitations, posting it in Anonymous sites like ChatRoulette, GloPoll, Omegle, etc.
The attack consisted of 5 hours, divided into 5 sections. First was a moderate amount of posts with the username ’’ImperialGuard’’ with numbers.With time, names 0-99 were taken, and the forumers were forced to input different variations, such as 1A, 1B, 2A, etc.
The second hour was a mass posting of the same posts ‘’Stop right there, Criminal Scum!…’’ and pictures of dead talibans.
The third, consisted of a full overload of posting, and almost every forumer was making 3 posts per minute, calculate that, how many would over 100 do? Yes, alot.
Fourth hour was when ‘’shit would hit the fan, if they didnt shut it down yet’’ , according to an anonymous forumer. This one consisted of pornographic pictures, and even MORE Imperial Guards submitted to the cause yet.
Fifth Hour wasn’t really planned, they thought the Twitter would be shut down until then, so they had to do it manually.
Mass requests of /b/ackup were sent to 4chan’s /b/ board, in wich lots, lots of more guards tried to shut down the Twitter themselves, via brute force hacking the password, and deleting the account once and for all. However, the attack failed at this time, as the password was too hard to brute-force break, and the Twitter Staff Team took place at that time, and banned most of the Imperial Guards present. The Imperial Guards hopped on onto ImperialGuard19’s (Named below) alternate accounts, and tried again, wich resulted even worse. Until now, 2 of the main accounts are still on foot (01 and 1B)
None of these Imperial Guards shall be named, and may remain Anonymous. However, there are ImperialGuards more important than others, such as 01 (Creator of the Raid) 19(Made alternate accounts for everyone, in case of a ban.) and 1B (Established an IRC chat network with a name yet to be discovered.)
