Re: "not usually capable of such precision" ?
Not necessarily. I have friends (ones who claim to have done this, which I doubt) who tell me that they target a set of ips, given to the bots with something like !ddos IPRANGE (ie. 111.111.111.***). They don't target one site, but I guess you could do a dnslookup on each site and get their exact ips. I'm sure 20,000 bots or so could do this much damage, and I know people with more than that.
Most people with botnets don't waste their time with corporate websites though, they target others who piss them off, like for instance if an IRC network splits, they attack the other network's shells. |
