What is a monkey?

Packet monkeys is a derogatory term for a person who floods the web with data packets and creates an attack by rejecting the service (DOS). In such an attack, the web server slows down or even crashes and is not available for normal business. While DOS attack can sound difficult and even sophisticated for an occasional computer user, packet monkeys use software scripts written by others and has no real personal experience or hacking understanding. The monkeys Packet together with script children are considered a childish Wanke-Bes in the hacker community. This protocol takes data and divided into many smaller parts called data packets. Sending small packets along different routes improves the speed of transmission. At the target address, the data packets are re -connected to create a complete original file. You can think of online data as a livelled puzzle that is dismantled, sent in pieces and re -assembled.

6 Not onlyThe web server is amazed by just the number of packets, but the re -assembly process fails, causing an error after an error. The power processing uses how the reverberations build exponentially, and in serious cases the server crashes or goes offline. DOS attacks have been conducted on several well -known websites and government sites for many millions or even billions of dollars.

If the monkey of packets does not score points in the hacker community by pulling such a stuntman, he risk the arrest and prosecution, why? These are usually young people looking for praise rights among their peers. Using tools that someone else scripted to implement DOS attack will not impress hackers, but it could be an iPrabled MPRESS. Children can also use DOS attack to build a reputation.

6 Harmful scripts are available in the wild and will always be newer, younger generations willing to use them.

2 a set of real hacker skills allows him to infiltrate the network to exploreher and then slip without leaving a trail. Although there are harmful hackers, many earn good money working for institutions that pay them to find and repair vulnerability in their networks. On the other hand, the monkeys of packets are involved in what is equal to the "online arson" using a borrowed lighter.
