I thought this was a legitimate question and I was like "What."

Is it the modem that an attacker targets? I've always been attacked by machine basis rather than my entire network.

This also focuses on just the target being a single user rather than a website or online server.

Nevertheless, its a decent introductory to anyone who may not know about it.

Well, your PC IP isn't unique and therefore can not be the only thing that gets attacked. Your IP address is set to your household and that is what a person attacks, which in turn floods your modem as this is what intercepts all incoming and outgoing connections.

It's the exact same thing for web servers too.
