DoS for Dummies |

For those of you who don't know, DDOS is an attack on a network |
|
or server. Its stands for Distributed Denial-of-Service. Despite |
|
this I don't believe your likely to get DDOSed as it is when |
|
multiple systems all target one server and 12-year-old boys |
|
don't really have the facility to do that. I believe the |
|
attacker is using Slow Read or Application Level Flood. |
|
Basically what these are are systems sending lots of requests to |
|
the server (e.g. joining) and trying to crash the server (same |
|
as DDOS just easy to facilitate) All of these processes fall |
|
under the category DoS (Denial-of-service) because they all have |
|
the same intention, prevent genuine users from contacting the |
|
server. |
|
Hope this helped you guys. Now don't go around saying you were |
|
DDOSed because you probable weren't unless you were attacked by |
|
Anonymous then your screwed or some internet thugs. |
|
P.S. Host-booting may occur this is when an attacker uses a 3rd |
|
party device or software to directly boot or attack someones IP |
|
causing it to disconnect for a few minutes. This process is easy |
|
but is not chosen by professionals and can't wipe out a server |
|
for more than a minute a day. |
