I need to go to the site which currently under DDoS attack or Under huge load. Is it some way to do that? Maybe some specefic options in browser or some ports, or anything else?
Thanks
Theres various types of DDoS attacks which can happen, but your chances of accessing the site amongst them is pretty much own to dumb luck.
Memory DDOS – This happens when the attackers are exploiting a specific flaw in the code to cache large amounts of data and run the server out of ram. The result will be lots of slow connections extending into aborted. Nothing you can do here, just wait it out.
Network DDOS – This happens when a large amount of data comes into the network from the attackers, in this case you can sometimes visit it, patience is a virtue though. But chances are your connection will timeout before the data is sent back
CPU DDOS – This happens when the attackers are exploiting a specific flaw in the code to process large amounts of data, sending the CPU skyrocketing. Again this is a wait it out scenario as chances are theres not enough juice left to process the requests.
In a DDOS the best way to deal with something like this is wait it out I’m afraid, hitting a already downed website with more data is also just not polite 😉
