kmanq's Journal: New DDOS Attack Theroy

Ok so heres how it goes...Im sure that if you saw anything to do with the Cheney/Edwards debate, you saw that Cheney foobared the url for factcheck.org. Well hes pointed out a great way to perform a DDos attack.

Take a site that has a high hit ratio, either by hacking or being the owner, then redirect that traffic to a competitor...for example you could take out googles webservers with all the yahoo hits added to it or vice versa (all conjecture but possible). Interesting in theroy at the very least.

Recently I read about a ring of DDoser's that were busted doing DDos for hire. Talk about information warfare...
