DDOS = distributed denial of service attack

Which basically means that the system is flooded with requests so the server is overloaded and can no longer provide the user with the data.

I know alot of people who do this and if you ask me its Very easy to do but there is no way to stop them without turning the main server off. Iv mever tryed but..

Ip Tracker and block the ip's that are doing it.

tech-hosts.co.uk had a DDOS attack recently... when we noticed hundreds of similar IPs browsing the site via live help. We immediately banned the subnets from our servers and this stopped the problem immediately before the site even started lagging. I suggest that you install some sort of IP tracker system, like they offered in the live support system on tech-hosts and you'll notice strange things like that.

DDOSing is illegal isn't it?

[Florx]

Yes to put it bluntly.

[GoldenMerc]
