Adam Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 What are these DDOS attacks? And how is this even possible? simple quick answer.. using a network of bots ( remotely controlled pcs) you flood a specific server with more traffic than it can handle.. end result it cant handle the traffic its supposed to and grinds to a halt. All you need is the ip address of a core server and bam the entire network will go down.. The fact its so easy to take down first party platforms is slightly worrying and doesnt really inspire much confidence in thm imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillinger Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 And theres nothing they can do? There is plenty they COULD do, but as always, it involves money and looking BACKWARD at your client base instead of constantly looking forward towards the next DLC or game release. These Lizard Squad pukes were just rewarded with 3,000 premium memberships to some website owned/partnered/created by Kim-dot-com, so it's highly unlikely this sort of thing is going to stop.

abc123 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 DDoS cannot be stopped it is kinda a cleaver trick in that sense...you can make sure that you aren't being hit with fake packet requests...but, if enough bandwidth is thrown at you...you're going to go down... They have filter out the attackers and call the higher tier node to have the blacklist it. This is how North Korea "lost" their internet access.
