Edited by: Cat Sick on 15/06/2011 00:37:14 its when a bunch of computers overload 1 server with requests to the point where it can not keep up with the data flow.
In this case, a piece of software called LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon) was used. The "drones" are set up on many peoples machines (some knowingly, some unaware) and controlled from one central point to attack a specific target.
These machines are regular computers like yours or mine. When they are controlled in this way it is known as a botnet (network of bots/drones).
Denial of Service is essentially an attempt to bombard a server with so many requests that the machine either collapses or no one else can use it properly. It isn't intrusive in any way however DoS or DDoS attacks have been known to expose vulnerabilities in servers that can then be exploited. For example: overloading a service on a particular port in order to gain access etc.
Hope that helps

Basically somebody created a program and infected other computers with it. Then computers all over the world become bots. Then the infected computers get a command from and attacker to attack a network (like EVE) and so they all send requests to eve for a connection. These requests are dummie requests and are sent over and over really fast until the victim server becomes overwhelmed trying to process them and can't help legitimate requests.

Wikipeadia FTW
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. The term is generally used with regards to computer networks, but is not limited to this field; for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management.[1]
One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

Edited by: Julienne Poirier on 15/06/2011 00:44:36 Reminded me of this explanation.
Quote: So let's imagine...
You live in a little house at the end of a lane. You run a business from your little house, and delivery men go back and forth down your lane all day picking up and dropping off the parcels and letters which keep your business running efficiently. You always keep your lane well maintained, so the delivery men have no problem traveling up and down it.
One day a huge group of clowns in floppy hats come swarming down your lane and into your house, completely over-running it. Now you can't move in your house and, worse still, the place is so crammed full of clowns that the delivery men are having great difficulty pushing through the crowd to drop off parcels and pick up your letters to take away. Every now and then a delivery man manages to find you and deliver a parcel, but nowhere near as much as usual and, eventually, your business starts to suffer and grinds to a halt. You've just had a Denial of Service attack on your business.
Naturally, you're pretty ****ed off about this clown problem so you set about finding out where they come from. Eventually you track them back to a local circus, so you resolve to do something about it. The top of your lane opens on to a bigger road, and half-way up that road is a check-point which stops all travelers and tells them the best route to get to their destination. You take a walk up to the check-point and explain about your clown problem and they, in return, agree to turn away any travelers coming from the circus who want to go down your lane. This seems to work pretty well and life goes back to normal, with the delivery men about to come and go to your house. You've just solved the Denial of Service attack on your business by getting someone 'upstream' to ignore any information coming from the place that attacked you.
Time passes then, one day, the clowns return and there are more of them than ever before. Not only are they over-running your house, but they are blocking your lane all the way to the top. There are so many of the damn things that your delivery men can't get anywhere near your house and your business stops instantly. You phone up the check-point and yell that the clowns are back, but the check-point replies that they are still preventing anyone from the circus from entering your lane so they don't know where your new clown problem is coming from.
You investigate where these new clowns are coming from and, to your amazement, you discover that the circus owners have broken into 1,000 houses in the area, turned them into circuses and have sent hundreds of clowns to your house from each one. Now you despair, because there are far too many points of origin for the check-point to stop and your business can't function with a lane full of clowns stopping the delivery men getting through. You've just had a Distributed Denial of Service attack on your business.
At this point you have to take emergency action to stop your house falling apart under the weight of clowns crowding into it, so you board up the front door and all the windows. The clowns are still filling your lane, but now they can't get into your house (neither can any delivery men though), so your house is not in danger of collapsing anymore. You then telephone your delivery companies and tell them that they shouldn't try delivering for a few days. Your business is now suspended until further notice. At this point you realise that the only way your business can start up again is if the circus owners stop sending the clowns, or you manage to find the circus owners and get them arrested.

DDoS Distributed Denial of Service attack.
to login to eve you need to talk to the Server.
the server has a limit to the number of people it can talk to. if to many people talk to the server, its unable to hear you and thus effectively Denys you service.
to make a real world example: your in a restaurant chatting with a mate. unfortunately a collection of bikers each with a getoblaster walk in, you can no longer hear your friend over the din of all the getoblasters and bikers.
the hackers crate there gang of bikers by placing malware in peoples computers. once installed and running the mal wear will talk to the hackers and the hackers can then tell the infected computer to make a lot of noise at a target they chose. This is the distrabuted part - a LOT of computers all over the world.
for more info just look it up on Wiki

Just google, ScriptKiddie, ScriptBunnie.
Or, Mad WOW kid.
Give Me Attention, might work also. But that may just lead you to these forums again.

Simple analogy, a gang of kids throw bricks at your front windows and while you're distract a few sneak in to your back garden and steal your apples.
