ABSTRACT
In order to accomplish this, the concept of civil disobedience must be explored further, with a focus on its role in contemporary political activism. The term itself carries many ideas and concepts and is by no means straightforward. Within online civil disobedience the metaphor of the sit-in has been used by those who carry out attacks, and therefore this chapter will explore the mechanics of DoS attacks and compare them to the basics of the sit-in as a valid tactic of disobedience.
