An Introduction to DDOS Attack - A Beginners Tutorial

Today I will discuss an Advanced Attack to Deface a site. This Attack is used to stop functioning of a site so that no one can access it.

 

 Distributed denial-of-service attack (DDOS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. One common method of attack involves sending an enormous amount of request to Server or site and server will be unable to handle the requests and site will be offline for some days or months depending upon the strength of Attack i.e. (Data Sent to the Site/Server)

Basic Procedure/Logic employed in DDOS :
 1.) Open Command Prompt in windows by going to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.

 2.) Type "ping site-ip -l 5120 -n 100000 -w 1".

 Here "site-ip" is the IP Address of Target, You can also use site-name like "www.google.com" instead of site-ip."5120" is the size of packet sent to the target Which is 5 KB in example. "100000" is the no of requests sent to the Target. "- w 1" is the waiting time after each request which is 1 sec in example. You can change these parameters according to your need, but Don't omit these.

 This Attack is also called "Ping of Death"

 But In Actual a Single Computer using this Attack cannot Deface a Site for long time. Hackers Create and install botnets on different computers as trojans and use those Comprised Computers also to send these Dummy Packets to Target. When a Large no of Compromised Computer send simultaneous Requests to the target, the target site will be offline and Defaced

Note: This is for educational purpose only Don't use to harm any Server or site and most important Don't use it on my site....

How to Hide Your IP Address (IP Spoofing)

How to Hide Your IP Address (IP Spoofing)

One of the Important point in Hacking is Hiding yourself from target, So that nobody can trace your Location or any other information. So the Most important task the Hackers perform while attacking a target is to hide their IP Address. By Hiding the IP Address it means that the IP Address detected by servers or other people will be different from your actual IP Address. This Technique of Pretending or Hiding the IP is also called IP Spoofing.

 

 

 There are Several Ways of Spoofing Your IP :

 1.) Proxy Servers: Proxy Servers act as an intermediary between you and the Other Servers/Sites you are accessing. When You open a site through Proxy Server, It hides Your IP and shows its own IP to the Server/Site.In simple way it is marking your Proxy to the site like students marks proxy in Colleges.

List of some Top Active Proxy Sites can be viewed from Here.

But the Disadvantage of using Proxy Servers is that When you open a site through Proxy Servers, It acts like Javascript is disabled on Your Browser.So you may not View the Target as its actual view.

2.) Tor Browser: This is much better than Proxy Servers and I'll Prefer this. This is a Modified Firefox browser. This browser will change your IP Address to some random one, Which can be of a different country. Download it from Here

So now Nobody will see your actual IP and you will be safe from cops.
