Thanks for your link. "They often coincide with significant geopolitical or military events." Makes me think of some kind of "computerized" prayer, as if someone wants to send "LOVE" to the world in order to hope for a better outcome.
>The TCP traffic also adjusts parameters such as window sizes to emulate different operating systems, keeping the activity stealthy and difficult to pinpoint.
>The Time to Live (TTL) values, which dictate how long a packet stays on the network before it's discarded, are set between 120 and 200 to resemble realistic network hops.
