Re: How do Hackers....?

basically, but they can all be subdivided.

DOS and dDOS. dDOS can also be done non-maliciously e.g the slashdot effect

Get some CEH Prep guides - those books are good for listing lots of tools.

You can also head over to insecure.org and view the list of tools they have there to see if there's anything else you might've missed.
