I don't really see a point in giving you anything, when the entirety of people below have chosen to select bits and then further take the p*ss.

you have no clue what ddos is lol

[Raptorious 1899]

That's not what DDOSing is my friend.

[Yamnothere 197]

I actually work at a company, to where I safe-guard against DDOS attacks ( which are quite common, believe it or not, for a small company! ) aswell as doing this that and the other, yes I could of gone into depth about what a DDOS actually is, but i've simplified it to terms that are just.. simple. I could of further gone into what different types of DDOS attacks are but with this it would further go out of laymans terms as soon as I mention one, feel free!

 

Further gone to court on the matter against someone that had attempted to DDOS the network at work, and it is an open and shut case, as soon as you threaten it or actually attempt it, you are guilty.

I highly doubt an IT professional would say that "the most common ddos is a trojan virus on your computer", mostly because it makes no sense and has nothing to do with actual ddos.

As an IT professional with certified certificates, I'm sorry to tell you that what your company may have taught you is false, or at least what you think you may know is false.

I mentioned one of the most common types of a DDOS stems from a Trojan virus uploaded onto your computer, so further I shall announce what a trojan is..

 

Google states a Trojan virus as followed:

 

1. A Trojan horse, or Trojan, in computing is generally a non-self-replicating type of malware program containing malicious code that, when executed, carries out actions determined by the nature of theTrojan, typically causing loss or theft of data, and possible system harm.

That actually sums it up.. completely a trojan virus is not simply ''Screws up your computer'' but a Trojan virus is defined much as a Trojan horse is, a Virus under the guise of something else, much as the greek trojan horse it would be ''This is a xxxx file..'' whilst inside the file there are little greek men, waiting in hiding for you to go to sleep so they may destroy your computer, access your router, or further commit to the reason the Trojan was created. ( and no, there arn't litually little greek men inside a Trojan virus. )

The most common type of DDoS is a DDoS. You do no need to download anything for them to DDoS you in any way shape or form, only thing they need is your IP which they can get without download anything as well.

Most common type of DDOS for 'new-hackers' would start with a Trojan virus pulled off the internet. I do know how to DDoS and there are many ways to perform it, but most common would be 'The easiest', the most common for households is a Trojan Virus, the most common for businesses that use a host server for their website is a Trojan virus, Simply because IP's are Difficult to obtain if you do not have a direct access to the network via a website or network.

 

yes, to DDOS a gaming server it would infact go off the Ip

 

Again, there are many ways to DDOS, and i've just posted 'The easiest way to defend -You- the -Player- against it. so unless it is the Admins / Game masters that are doing the DDOS then its simple. Yes, in buisness there are COMPLETELY different statements, and what is common in a gaming network is completely different / rare on a buisness network.

[monkeypoacher 8055]

what is a "BBoS"?

[Parkins 550]

This is wrong, on many different levels. I'm pretty sure you're not IT, and just making things up.
