Dude it is tempting alright but i aint easily tempted. I just want to know about it as been hearing a lot about the news where these hackers, mostly teenagers, do a crap load of damage to a lot of people. But i wanted to go into a bit deeper side of it later on. First i wanted to clear up the basics. Now as you say that they will send a lot of data to jam signal to machines which end up having a DOS. How would they do it, is it by just randomly selecting a ip address and bombard em with data? or is there some other sort of specialise scripted software they would use to sift through the addresses for vulnerable one.
