Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

ShL, a DDoS is an attack from multiple bots/infected PCs. A DoS is from a single IP. Using a botnet is a DDoS Attack, using a shell booter (aka Vandalism, wormf00d, etc) is a DDoS Attack, using a public shell is a DDoS attack.

They're all using multiple systems to attack the one IP, hence a distributed attack.
Semantics.
No.

If you think that DDoS and DoS are the same thing, just different ways of saying it, you don't know what you're talking about.

DoS is from ONE system to ONE system. 1:1.

DDoS is from MULTIPLE systems to ONE system. It could literally be tens of thousands of systems attacking ONE IP. 2,000:1.


Both are denial of service attacks, I really don't care enough to flex my knowledge for a pointless reason.

Whether I get 3 people to fight someone, or just fight someone myself, it's still a fight of some sort. At least I'm not the one sitting here saying that hostbooting is IP flooding the host.

Host booting is when you boot the host by flooding their IP, NOT when the host boots you.

As far as I am aware there is no common term for fire-walling someone out of the game. It is extremely rare. Most people will just standby you because it's harder to get banned that way.
I am aware you're probably trolling, but I'll explain the difference to anyone (the OP) that doesn't know that.

HOST booting: Using a firewall to block an IP from connecting to you, hence forcing you out of the game. Traffic is routed through the booters PC using software that re-directs traffic to go through the PC while going back and forth from the router to the Xbox.

DDoS/IP Flooding: Where a cheater, doesn't have to be the host, sends an attack from external sources (botnets/shell booters), to attack an IP of someone in the game. If it is strong enough, it will force the victim offline completely (the victim's internet will literally be overloaded with TCP/UDP packets).

Host Booting is different from IP Flooding.


Lol you are so dumb. Host booting is IP flooding you moron!

WHat you think is host booting is actually called brdging people out of the game.

I know 200+ host booters and they will all tell you they are the same thing.

I know 201+ IP flooders and they all say that hostbooting =/= IP flooding.

Yup, you're definitely trolling.

For anyone, including the OP that may be confused by all this.. Here is the description of both IP Flooding and Host Booting. Do not listen to anything that Justin Beiberr says. He's a bad singer.

When the host forces a player to disconnect from the game by blocking their IP adress via a virtual firewall.
Lol false.
Lol no.

Way to look like a fool!

Also, ShL, it's DDoS, not DoS.
It's only DDoS if from multiple bot's or, for the skids, multi shells.
Mmmhmm.. And it's also a DDoS from a server, because each private shell is a different server, aka an infected PC.

I assume when you say "multi-shells", you mean opening multiple public shells?

ShL, a DDoS is an attack from multiple bots/infected PCs. A DoS is from a single IP. Using a botnet is a DDoS Attack, using a shell booter (aka Vandalism, wormf00d, etc) is a DDoS Attack, using a public shell is a DDoS attack.

Well, multi shells could be multi public shells (if there public there weak as hell) but I ment more along the lines of a shell booter.

This. Anyone who understands the intricate concepts of host booting/other forms of cheating beyond their basic forms is a nerd.
