Topic: DDOS-ing A Website....What's The Point?

Posted under Off Topic

This is something that has been bugging me for awhile. In light of the recent FA DDOS attacks...I am always saying: "What the hell is the point?"

I guess it's some nerdy thing, but I just never understood why you would do it. Maybe there is nothing *to* understand, but it just seems pointless to me. Sure the site goes down, but only for a few minutes or hours, and then everything is back to normal again....[trails off]

For lulz, my friend. For lulz.

That is the number one sole reason for half of all non-work-related online actions taken on the face of the earth.

The other half is probably for wanking off.

Generally DDoS'ing someone is like shitting on them, and is typically done as a retaliatory action for them pissing you off. It's kind of like spreading rumors about someone, or boxing them in at a parking lot, or keying their car.

Only it's anonymous. And on the internet.

Alright, thanks.

The Internet can be a great source of information (and porn), but God, there is so many "trolls" and idiots around.

Where's Charlie Sheen when you need him? We could use a good warlock around here. haha

Because it's easy to do. FA has very few defenses... it's like throwing hammers at infants.... you do damage. but your still an asshole who just killed a baby.

Lawl, this is wut happens when you post too much MLP and memes and attract Anonymous. They don't like furries, especially on Friday. And it's probably some 12 yr old skiddy with LOIC, camping in his mom's basement.

It's just a bunch of people with no real lives. If you didn't have a life, doing something like this would give you some enjoyment for a reason I cannot see.

that's because you are intelligent and can think of something better to do (or at least something that doesn't negatively impact others in some way).

These people may know how to do a DDOS (I don't) but they either can't think of better activities to spend their time or somehow think this is right.

Anyone that has basic knowledge of computers or has 10 minutes to mess around on google knows how to DDOS.

not really. I do have time to mess around on Google AND have a basic knowledge of computers, but I never found a good reason to DDOS, therefore I don't know how. I suppose it may be easy to find out how, but if I don't bother looking, how could I possibly know?

Problem is, I don't. This makes your post false. Unless, of course, you were calling me stupid. And since I KNOW you wouldn't dare do something like that, it must be the first option.

or has 10 minutes

Has is present/future tense.
Had is past tense.

Despite your reverent belief in Caturday, you cannot 'has' something in the past. You can only 'has' in the future.

Thus, anyone who, in the future, may HAVE 10 minutes to google, CAN gleen the knowledge of how to DDOS.

Unless you have a time machine, this is not possible to do in the past.

I don't get it, why do I need to know how to do this in order to be smart? It is unnecessary and I can fill my head with more important shit.

Sorry. However, I do not appreciate what NOU is implying.

In any case, it won't happen again.
