The Distributed Denial of service (ddos:distributed denial of services) attack means the use of client/server technology to unite multiple computers as an attack platform to launch DDoS attacks on one or more targets, thereby multiplying the power of denial-of-service attacks. Typically, an attacker uses a theft account to install a DDoS master on a computer, and in a set time the master program communicates with a large number of agents that have been installed on many computers on the Internet. When an agent receives an instruction, it launches an attack. With client/server technology, the master program can activate hundreds of proxy programs in seconds. (Li Wei)
