i bought a DDoS attack on the DARK WEB (don't do this)

Summary by Krater

The host demonstrates how distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks work using simple tools like low orbit ion cannon, hping3, and the Sphyra Python script, and explains how web servers handle and fail under heavy traffic and TCP handshake flooding.

Answers: How do DDoS attacks work and how can you perform one?

• DDoS attacks
• TCP 3-way handshake
• SYN flood attack
• HTTP flood attack
• Botnets

What it concludes

• Basic ping flood attacks are ineffective against modern servers with sufficient bandwidth.
• Multiplying attacking servers increases traffic and successfully degrades target server performance.
• SYN flood attacks exploit the TCP 3-way handshake by flooding the server with SYN requests without completing the handshake.
• Web servers protected by firewalls can quickly drop packets from simple DDoS attacks.
• Advanced DDoS scripts use random user agents and headers to evade simple firewall detection.
