thats 0 for 2 now :P got loopback IP wrong, now this
1TB connections DO NOT exist. highest are OC-256 or 512 i believe that run around 12-15Gbps. and even that speed is not possible to achieve off 'one box' due to hard drive RPM limits. Fastest you can achieve usually is 10-12megabits per harddrive (top of the line hd).
learn to read first - Most dedi companys run of a backbone that is 1TB = these mean companys that run major servers not these 2 bit companys - You would know this if you traveled outside of the EU = You not seen japans backbone.
#1.. No 'one box' is a 1TB connection or even gigabit, these are reserved for the major pipelines for general traffic. And most of these.. atleast in US, i dont no about UK have protection now.. from something simple as a Ddos attack. You will rarely see it these days, except on home internet lines or smaller dedicated host companies that run T1 or cable lines, or half burst 10mbit lines.
Did I ever say one box was 1TB Errrmmmm think not so come on try again and I was stating major dedi companys not ****ty little wanna bes.
#2.. most major dedicated hosts (such as theplanet.com) dont allow DDoS attacking anymore, as it shields from repetative attacks.
i would read into some of the technology Cisco has created to not allow IP spoofing DDos attacks or packet attacks from occuring..
And have you just read books or have you ever tried it out hacking a cisco netframe router, its great fun and by the way you do know who is behind cisco don't you????
more realistically i think your server might just have a weak password
either a weak GM pass or a weak remote desktop password
i also am aware of keyloggers distrubuted by going to the wrong website or someone giving you a bad file
id worry less about a botnet attack, and more about strengthening passwords
checking for any leaks on your box, and checking for any leaks on your own system you play off.
what kind of person would spend the time knocking something out that doesnt make money or has no real value
hehe
.Because most people do this to annoy people.
