A DDoS is a Distributed Denial of Service. When you access a website your computer and the server the website is stored on perform what is called a three-way-handshake, essentially:

Snip

Thank you, that's very informative

Out of interest, whats the maximum penalty carried for this sort of offence?

 

[B@Th*nG]

Instigating these kind of attacks is a serious criminal offence and whilst we have strong suspicions who is behind them we need more evidence.

It was Tefal.

He's the only one with the investigative skills to find out it was himself.

Relating to this problem, have OCUK been sending out apology emails with a list of telephone numbers of their support landlines?

My managing director has received one and he doesn't frequent the forums. I've received nothing!

Apparently botnets like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_botnet are available for hire, slightly worrying that a company could simply cough up some cash to take a competitors server down if they wished.

Just had a read of that article - fairly interesting. It says that:

"If you're a researcher and you hit the pages hosting the malware too much… there is an automated process that automatically launches a denial of service [attack] against you,"

Does that mean you could set up loads of dummy servers, hit the malware hosting pages and thereby divert the bot net to useless attacks, preventing it hitting real targets?

 

[ChrisJSY]

It's a marketing campaign!!! Nawh...
I don't think Azab has the mental capacity to do such a thing, he was all talk.

Still, I don't see how anyone here can help with anything technically related.

They can't unless they were attacked as well. The culprit will most likely have bragged about it though, someone will know them.

4chan personal army.

 

[bledd]

it's because the forums are hosted on 'homestead - build your own website'

 

[Solari]

Is that you, Shaggy?

Doubt it, because even though it hits back, automatically, at a guess I'd imagine that the owners can still tell it to stop and go after something else at will.
