@mensrea @JessTheUnstill okay, just kill off the TLD and root zone DNS servers and the Internet would be almost dead within a week (caches take a while to expire).

That's not even a fair competition, given that TLS usually relies on DNS names, too.

For anything using Cloudflare, AWS, etc. I would agree... but not everyone does that, and it isn't really necessary to put everything behind a CDN. So it would cause an outage, but probably not an infinite one for most.
