how does ddos work, this looks like a serious crime and theres probably some kind of way to get the perpetrator and notify the cops, fbi, cia, nsa whatever and get justice!!

i havent played in a year, i just got off punishment, AND NO TRENCHWARS,

by and by, is the new setting to the weasle in effect still, any other new changes?

People use "bots" most of the time to run their lame DDoS programs. To get a bot you basically netBIOS to some lame windows machine without any security implementation, (which is most windows based machines)

You would also traceroute your "prey machine". Finding an IP range gives you IP's for potential victims.

Once you have netBIOS access you can simply log on and place your program.on the victim's machine.

From there, you can call all your hosts (hosts=0wn3d machines = bots) and make all your bots send ping packets to the target machine or host.

That's all about bots. Most of the time it will be difficult to trace the actual attacker because he is using machines that he has access too.

IP address can change if you change your ISP. Doesn't really matter where you live. If you change providers your IP will change. Some hackers might say they are safe if they have dynamic IPS but all a system admin would have to do is block your host.

About the weasel, I think the only difference is that you dont have a repel and the ship is small. =]

Got to love the weasels

I accually explained that a bit, yes it is a serious crime, but with people who use Proxy's and N.A.T server's trying to find the person who is behind the entire thing is like searching for a niddle in a haystack.

And again the functionality of DDOS is to steal a person's bandwith. Lets see if I can tone it down a bit. Some uploads a bot virus/trojan to your computer. then say your on IRC it spams itself to people in channels, if they click the link given it will spread to them and so on and so on. After the person gets enough of these systems infected, he will then start controlling them to attack target IPs. Namely servers, & website, & hosts. Then once the attack begin's the person(s) they are attack their service will start to degrade, causing high bandwith usage. basicly its sucking up all the persons bandwith causing it to die out.

Which also causes them more problems then the outages, each host has a given amount of Bandwith, DDOS will keep overflowing it causing the person who owns the server to go over their Bandwith usage which means they have to dish out extra cash for that usage.

Not really, anyone who owns a Cisco based router, can use N.A.T and Proxy servers. I own 3 3700 series, and they are easy to configure. Plus give you the added secruity not to be traced. But I do agree though it is 90ish, but its still in play cause most of all the new methods can be traced easily
