see what i am getting at, there's not just one entity that figured out ddos manipulates the price, if they scheduled their ddos for thursday, but another group scheduled their's for friday, can you just call off a ddos?
this is too fucking funny btw, wow, what a topic, crazy.   |
When I had a botnet 15 years ago or so it was just as easy to call off a DDoS as it was to start one. I don't know how it works anymore but back then you would have full control of the DDoS bots via IRC or a website. You'd issue simple commands like ".ddos [target] [the number of packets to send] [packet size]" Then to cancel or stop you'd just issue another command to the bots to stop.
There's also a lot more ways to DDoS now than with a couple thousand infected computers.
