DDoS Attacks as Fast As Possible

DDoS attacks can be a real pain when you're the target... What is actually happening behind the scenes of an attack like this?

At least it feels good to know that my computer was used to take down massive servers.

If only I had a dollar for everytime somebody threatened to DDoS me when I was destroying them in Starcraft...
"I have your IP, I will DDos you!"
me: "lol ok"

[Lizlodude]

I'm mildly concerned that ~80% of the suggested videos from this are instructions on how to do a DDOS attack...

Linus made a decent transition to the advertisement? Did Taran write your script for you, Linus?

If you're a gamer/streamer you need to be really careful who you give out your Skype details to as by default people can get your IP address from Skype without even being accepted by you as a contact, there's some settings under advanced that I'd recommend changing to prevent this.

If you're a video gamer you know the struggle

[rikmeister]

Smoothest transition I've heard yet 😁 The stars have aligned!

[MariekePost]

Yes! Love how you bring this. Thank you

Good job, Linus. That was the best segue into an ad I've ever seen. You actually tricked me into watching through the whole ad instead of clicking out when I knew it was coming.
