Ddos attack, also known as dos virus, refers to the attack behavior that uses some viruses and Trojan horse programs on the network to spread maliciously. If you accidentally play a game that is attacked by DDoS, it is very likely that various functions in the game will not function properly, and you may even be unable to log in to the game interface or log in to your game account. In our daily life, we may often see some games being attacked by illegal hacker websites such as DNF. The reason for this is that some viruses are used by hackers. But those players who have played games that have been attacked are not so lucky. When they play games downloaded from the Internet, they are likely to be infected by viruses created by hackers. So how can we avoid this situation? First of all, everyone should first understand what a DDoS attack is. DDoS is a very vivid word. The word itself actually means that a network hacker attacks a computer and then steals user information. Many people do not understand the meaning of this term. Let’s learn about ddos first!
1. The purpose of ddos attack
The purpose of DDoS attacks is generally to steal user information. Of course, hackers can't always do this. In fact, there are some restrictions on the purpose of this kind of attack. For example, if a hacker can steal the information of all users on a website, then this behavior is considered an illegal activity, but it cannot be said that this behavior is illegal. Because this is a computer program operation after all, if illegal operations are performed on a computer, it will definitely cause other effects or cause system failure.
2. Main means
There are two main methods used by hackers: one is to attack the server, making the server inaccessible and causing users to be infected to a certain extent.
The second is to make the server unable to operate normally through network attacks on the client. For these two attack methods, if everyone knows some of their specific contents, we will not explain them in detail here. Let’s take a look at the main methods of ddos virus below!
3. Related data theft methods
When a hacker attacks a computer, he will first send his IP address to a website. Then the website will send the user's account and password to the user, and they will know their relevant information when they log in to the website.
4. Harm to user data
In network attacks, since user computer information is transmitted through shared data on the Internet, all information on the user's computer can become a means for hackers to obtain data. After hackers attack computers, they can use the user information they have to obtain the resources they want, and the users become the hackers' targets. Hackers steal user data by illegally using various resources on the computer, and this information will also be transmitted to the network. In this way, users may have their data stolen by hackers whenever they access any resources on the network. For example, if a game enthusiast discovers a problem with the game when playing a free software, it is very likely that the software itself has been attacked by some illegal websites. And since many illegal websites conduct advertising campaigns in order to attract traffic, these advertising campaigns will also attract some users to visit this program and then be implanted with viruses.
