What's the technique called where you spam a website?

[Glaesman]

It's called BSOD or DOSDB or something. I've been getting so many steam scam attempts lately so I need something to do to then except spamming username and passwords in the login box.

[JJ Webby]

Something like DDOS, actually that might be it.

[mike]

ddos.

but it's illegal in most countries.

and just ignore the scam attempts.

[JJ Webby]

Yep it is.

DOS or DDOS -- (Denial of Service)

[MaCKaN]

I think you're referring to DOS. Denial of Service. Or DDOS. Distributed Denial of Service. Both, I believe, are illegal, and not something you want to be performing when you don't even know what it's called.

Distributed, not Direct.

[Evil Policeman]

DDOS, it's illegal, and can get you years in jail. Report them to google as attack sites is the best you can be doing with your rage.

[B1N4RY!]

DOS and DDOS are not the same thing. DOS is simply one user flooding the site, where DDoS are thousands of zombies on a botnet attacking a site, controlled by the creator

Allright, thanks everybody. I just get so tired of the ~30 attempts I get every mounth. And they just leave the link and go offline so I can't troll them :argh:

Thanks everyone!
