DDoS Attacks and some special stuff FOR U to know
Okay so here I am back again and today I am going to be speaking about the wonderful and exciting DDoS attacks.This is going to be lots of fun and I hope that I am able to provide a positive reading experience for all my fantastic readers out there.
Okay lets get right to it,so without any further delays let it be said that these attacks are extremely dangerous.They can cause extreme chaos for everyone and everything online and the results will not be pleasant to say the very least.Okay so a DDos attack is the same as a DoS attack except the difference lies in the factor that more than one attack computer is used.In a DoS attack the specific source is attacking one computer/IP and in a DDoS the specific source is attacking many computers and IPS.
What is vital to know that these are generally system which are compromised and the owners of the computers are simply innocent victims with no idea or clue that their computers are being used.Scary isn’t it? So what DdoS stand for simple……… DDoS=Distributed denial of service attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While DDos attacks come from potentially thousands of sources ordinary Dos attacks don’t.
DDoS attacks can cause extreme chaos as previously mentioned and if someone is operating a DDoS attack they do many things such as:
causing too many packets and bringing the entire router down.
Causing too many sessions, not good at all.
Flooding the bandwidth…..no explanations needed on this one.
It interesting to know that these attacks can have many direct as well as indirect victims.These attacks can cause extreme chaos for many people with the inclusion of network operators.
DDoS attacks basically make a specific computer resource not available to specific users.There is lots more yo can learn about these attacks but just know one basic thing and that is that:DDoS attacks are considered violations of the IAB’s Internet Proper Use Policy.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO BEWARE OF DDoS attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 5 basic methods for a DoS attack according to Wiki wow wow are:A DoS attack can be perpetrated in a number of ways. The five basic types of attack are:
1. Consumption of computational resources, such as bandwidth, disk space, or processor time
2. Disruption of configuration information, such as routing information.
3. Disruption of state information, such as unsolicited resetting of TCP sessions.
4. Disruption of physical network components.
5. Obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
Maybe you should all start reading up and understand more with regard to DDoS attacks:It is your choice,but I know that I am going to,no doubt about it
