Sony under DDOS attack.

is it easy to send a DDoS attack? i mean how does one do it? it seems expensive. Like you gotta have a butt load of accounts and computers but i'm a computer idiot so i don't even understand how someone can organize to do this and for a few extra hits? All that extra attention they get will die off once we're able to play online again.

yeah i dont want to give any guides how to do it but these people dont buy 5000 different connections they buy a botnet that has a stub (which is the actual bot) that stub they trick people to download which gets their computer infected. your computer can be part of the attack and you wont even know it. best way to avoid your computer being used as a tool for DDOS is to have a updated and decent anti virus.
