[spoiler:1ve3323u]So many fail analogies of a DDoS...
Quite simply a DDoS is a Distributed Descendants of Sparta attack, which I think we can all agree is pretty self explanatory.
For those who simply can't grasp that though, here is a history lesson on Sparta and her people.
These guys were nutcases, like real badass military dudes that ripped up Greece and called her Sparta's biatch. These guys beat off the Persians in an epic battle of which we all drank long into the night celebrating to end up with a massive hang over in the morning. Pretty sure I got with Noobeh's sister and Frog somehow scored twins...needless to say it was a good night for all involved.
So now long after this epic night of death and drink, everyone went back to their homes and had to readjust to normal life with their families and such. Most of us readjusted fine and grew out of the killing and drinking with the occasional beer or murder. However, many of these soldiers were disturbed from the lack of drink and killings they were given in the epic battle and decided to really cause some havoc out of the military, a big no-no. These rag-tag bunch of guys also brought their delinquent kids into the mix and taught them all they knew about being mischievous which has now filtered down to present day DoS getting up to no good. These DoS get together on the interwebs (thus causing a Distributed DoS) and like to throw digitised weapons (packets) at buildings (servers) to try and take them down to show their military prowess. Once a building falls to their mighty onslaught, they like to go and get drunk and try and hook in with noobeh's sister but that was so 300 BC and well they would be getting Trigger's sloppy seconds. While everyone else grew up, these DoS still think it's cool to repeat the same lifestyle that we all gave up years ago but unfortunately that is the way life with these DDoS.[/spoiler:1ve3323u]
