Hey,
I am writing a "DDOS Program" and I have a simple version, but I can barley tell if it is doing anything. This may be because it isn't really all that effective but here is what my program does.

Load UDP Library
Set's peer name to host and port of the victim
Sends strings of text, normally really long, and lasting about 10 seconds.

Is this a good method? Is this how it really works?

Can someone give me a detailed explanation on how a DDOS program really works, and what I can do to make it better once it does what it is supposed to do. This is going inside my "Toolkit" which I will be giving away to HC once it has enough tools.

Note: The same for TCP? I figure it would be more effective since you can't loose a packet like you can with UDP.

Do you know how DDOS works?

Hey,
According to my research, my method is called "Nuking". Or atleast, it is similar. The intention of this post was to get good info from the community, that could be read in the future for people wondering the same thing.
I am trying to get down the logic, and plan how I am going to make this a good and usable tool for others. Any help I will greatly appreciate.

Hey,
Thanks for the info!

DDoS requires you to have a botnet. That stands for distributed denial of service.
The attacker infects many computers (called zombies) to attack the victim host without them to be aware about it.
If you do a DoS attack from your computer only, it is called only DoS attack.
By the way, I believe nuking is a bit passed... but just my opinion.

Hey,
Good info, I have been looking into it and I am designing how this will work.

Not true. You don't need an botnet to perform a DDoS attack. If a friend or a random person attack the same IP as you, you're doing a DDoS attack. A botnet isn't necessary.

Hey,
I was going to say something but I am not experienced enough to say anyone is wrong. I tested the program, and thus far I can see speed change in a Teeworlds server (that I have permission to test on). So far it is coming well. Maybe I can release something soon enough.
