LMAO. So this Twitter guy @KikiLockhart appears to have no idea what he's doing, or even trying to do. Attention seeking much? Also 2010 called, says it wants its Guy Fawkes mask back. Yawn.
@th3j35t3r
Can you translate for the digitally impaired please?
What is he claiming to have achieved?
What do the green words mean?
All I know it that I was awake and on coso when it "happened" between 0117 and 0217 gmt.
@stueytheround @th3j35t3r He basically just opened Putty and pinged CoSo.

You - or anyone - can literally open a connection via telnet (or, if feeling fancy, use Lynx/Links/etc) to 80 or 443 on any server & make a GET request for the index file, headers, etc. It's not magic - it's HTTP.
You don't even need Linux - you can do this from DOS 🙄
I fail to see what this person did beyond the above.
