When talking DDoS, most of the people that aren’t afraid to use words like DNS or ICMP, are left with the impression that DDoS is a simple, yet pesky activity. In fact, this is hardly the case. Although compared to some forms of cyber-attacks, Denial of Service attacks are very straight forward, being a true DDoS master is miles away from the thousands of self-proclaimed hackers. Most of the DDoS-ers are actually script-kiddies and wannabe hackers just downloading and using bots, toolkits and scripts created by true masterminds. When it comes to innovation and the abuse of new intrusion vectors, it is clear who runs the parade.
