38 RepliesDistributed Denial of Service Attack. Basically, a hacker puts a virus out in the wild, like those FREE IPAD! or LOOK AT BOOBIES FREE! sites and people who go there with no or outdated firewalls / anti-virus get infected. The virus gives control of the infected computers to the hackers. When the hacker takes control they act in unison and become a "botnet" . The hacker then has all the computers he controls via the virus send a simple "ping" request over and over again in rapid succession to the XBox servers. These ping requests clog up all the available bandwidth keeping everyone out. An easy analogy is telephones. Say you have a phone with call waiting, well, the hacker would have 1000 or so phones call you constantly on rapid fire speed dial so anyone really trying to call you would get a busy signal. It's important to know the computer ignorant enable this. You'd have to be a BILLIONAIRE to buy enough computers of your own out there. Hackers can only do DDoS because there's enough gullible morons going to obvious malware websites with no protection allowing their computer to be infected and used by hackers for the botnet needed.

In a nutshell, if I gave you 40 big macs and you tried to eat them all at once you wouldn't be feeling too well. Basically what thwy did but instead of big macs they used packets :P

Distributed Denial Of Service. Basically it overloads the servers until they can't cope.

3 RepliesOften it's done via Bot net. Typically malware installed on thousands of computers and exploited servers without owners knowledge. When activated they can be directed in unison to flood a single target with requests (such as log on request). Hard to stop. Ownership of a large botnet has been a status quo for "hacker wannabes" since the 90s. If you can't beat em, sting em to death.

Think of it like this. It's like sending 1,000,000 messages to a phone at once, it'll overload it. They do the same basic thing to servers to crash them and lag them out
-
Think of it as them hitting F5 (refreshing the webpage) hundreds of times per minute by a bunch of computers all directed at 1 computer. That computer gets overloaded with requests and dies.

1 ReplyDistributed Denial of Service A DDOS attack bombards the system with user requests over and over and over until it no longer has the resources to manage them and it crashes.
