I've been looking through some topics and been seeing DDoS... What does it mean exactly?

Distributed Denial of Service.
| Quote: |
On the Internet, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system. The flood of incoming messages to the target system essentially forces it to shut down, thereby denying service to the system to legitimate users.

Basically, when you get DDoS'd, you have no internet. You cannot be ddos'd if you have a hidden IP (IP Mask) or your IP doesn't get out there in the first place.

In a nutshell it's sending a mass load of data to someone/something - more than their internet can handle. Result: they either get laggy (if it's a weak attack) or go offline altogether for a stronger attack.

DDOS is when some pathetic person illegally compromises other peoples computers with a trojan, or "bot". The bot silently runs in the background on the victims computer, and connects to IRC, where the botnet "owner" controls them and sends commands to make them use all available bandwidth to flood someobody. Imagine a few thousand of these "bots" all flooding one person, and you get a DDOS - Distributed Denial of Service. The end result is the targets connection gets saturated (or even possibly the ISPs entire peering connection to the rest of the internet), and they effectively get knocked offline. This makes the botnet kiddies feel like they have power, and they get a tingle in their balls everytime they DDOS someone, and then go back to undressing their little sisters barbie dolls, until the next time that someone "dares" to disagree with them or their friends.

FYI, you do not need a botnet to run a simple DDoS attack, just a bunch of friends with TS/Vent/IM who are willing to co-operate...

or even alone if you got axx to a (very) fast internet connection. like in the company i worked for some years ago. i had access to a box which was connected with about 5*100mbit if i remember right. anyways you were easily able to DOS someone on your own.
anyways even DDOS has nothing to do with a botnet!... (setzen, sechs)

Mm yeah, but if it's coming from a single source, it's no distributed, is it.

"easily able to DOS someone on your own"
"even DDOS has nothing to do with a botnet"
and the box i were talking about had also multiple IP's so its a DDOS again if youre splitting hairs
