This was suppose to go in to the SAUR topic, but it got locked and trashed.

ok, sorry to go off topic(even though it's worth it =) ),

What is DDose?

When does DDose attack?

Why do DDOse attack

Where are DDose from?

and

How do they effect the server(s)?

DDoS = Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

A DDoS can make the server lag like hell, ex: players with 3000+ ping, and after some seconds, they'll eventually time out.

You get DDoS when your server is either hated by a teenager kid or just because someone is jeleous of it.

Not entirely true, a DDOS is Distributed, meaning that it came from more then one source.

Theres not many "teenagers" who are in possesion of such a botnet to be capable of bringing damage to a server.

A DOS on the other hand is very easily done, and requires only one computer to initiate, but its a lot less effective, and usually doesnt affect a server in a proper datacenter at all.

DDoS, as I know, is when a group of people/one person "attacks" a server, sending messages or stuff like that.

When the server cannot manage/receive all those messages at the time, it starts to lag heavily (stack overflow).

And it's just time for it to CRASH.

Read up on this: http://www.security-faqs.com/dos-vs-ddos-what-is-the-difference.html

a DDOS can only be done by those who are in control of multiple connections and multiple computers

a DOS can be initiated by anyone who owns a computer and an internet connection.

so, How do they get on the server?
