A DDOS is a trespass to chattels. It denies others the use of a resource they own or have a right to use.
I would rather see anonymous discover who at MIT is responsible for this matter and dox them than deny students access to their network. Doxing is like a sniper attack. DDoSing is like dropping napalm on villages.
Haven't there been lots of problems with doxxing the wrong people?
I don't think anyone will know, actually, who is responsible without the investigation that MIT is already doing. We can speculate, but we'll probably get it wrong.
