Using software such as LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon), many people can launch an attack against a website, server or router at the same time. This is a coordinated DDoS attack.

DoS and DDoS attacks are illegal under the law.

What can be used to launch a coordinated DDoS attack?

Basically, you just need a lot of computers. Not four of five, but more like a server farm. You will also need a program to drive each computer, telling it to download over and over. --Please don't try it.


Which can be used to launch a coordinated DDoS attack?

HOIC (High Orbital Ion Cannon) can be used to launch both DoS and DDoS attacks. DoS and DDoS attacks are against the law, so I advise you that if you don't want to get arrested, you shouldn't execute one. Obviously you will be caught in the act if you do because you are a n00b.


Why botnets used in DDos attack?

Botnets are used in DDoS attacks because they leverage a large network of compromised devices to overwhelm a target with traffic. By coordinating many devices, attackers can generate massive volumes of requests that exceed the target's bandwidth or server capacity. This distributed nature makes it difficult to mitigate the attack, as the traffic originates from numerous locations, masking the source and complicating defense strategies. Moreover, botnets can be easily rented or sold on the dark web, making them accessible for malicious actors.


How can a website distinguish between lack of capacity and a denial-of-service attack?

The website owner would need to check the webserver log. DOS/DDOS attacks typically flood you with incoming data while legitimate users would be downloading items from your webserver.

What floods a computer with requests until it shuts down and refuses to answer any requests for information a Trojan horse ddos attack polymorphic virus or port blocking?

What you are describing is not a type of malware, but a DoS (Denial of Service) attack.


What is the difference between DoS and DDoS attack?

DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are very similar, but also different methods of attack. A DoS attack involves flooding a host with malformed or large TCP/IP packets in order to shut down the computer, website, or server. The large number of connection requests in a short amount of time renders the server basically useless as it tries to fulfill all of the requests, slowing it to a standstill. This standstill renders the server's resources unusable, hence the name Denial of Service, as computer users can no longer use the services provided. A DDoS attack is like a DoS attack but with one major difference: multiple computers launch a DoS attack against a target all at the same time. DDoS attacks are able to be done thanks to botnets, which is a network of computers that a hacker has compromised and connected them together in order to make a pool of available resources and vantage points. Once the hacker gives the signal, all of the computers in the botnet launch a DoS attack against a specified target.

What does DDoS stand for?

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.


What Is A Distributed Denial-Of-Service Attack?

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is another type of DoS attack. These attacks involve numerous systems coordinating a synchronised DoS attack on a single target. The key difference is that the target is attacked from numerous directions simultaneously rather than from a single entity. DDoS attackers frequently employ a , a collection of hijacked devices connected online, to launch large-scale attacks. Attackers use command and control software to exploit security flaws or hardware weaknesses to control many devices.
