Everyone talks about stop ddos but no one takes ddos feelings in account... ddos want to play apb too dont be mean.

If ddos could be prevented then there would be no point in doing it. In other words you can only mitigate the attack with varying success.

Its called putting the attacker or attackers in jail. Thats how you prevent them.

Its nice when a single statement lays bare just how little someone knows about a given subject.

If they dont have access to a pc they cant ddos anything can they? Yea theres things that can help mitigate them but to stop somebody who keeps on doing it thats the route it needs to go.

taking your (hopelessly naive) statement to the logical extreme in order to highlight how ridiculous it is

 

you don’t seem to understand how difficult, if not impossible, it is to “catch” a ddoser - it’s not like someone sending anthrax through the postal service, or making threatening phone calls, or sending spam emails about nigerian princes with cash flow problems

 

trawling through the hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of completely random ordinary computers (probably including yours seeing as how you know nothing) involved in a ddos attack takes a lot of time and resources and will probably just end up leading to some anonymous doofus who rents out botnets to other people (bonus difficulty points if the doofus or the botnet are located in another country), and the actual ddoser will just turn around and rent another from someone else

how about asking cyber police.

Its obstruction of business.

Well hold on... it's the same idea. If identifying the attackers were easy, wouldn't you think they'd be caught by now? Definitely much easier said than done... it's a felony after all.

Well first you cannot arrest someone just because even before the ddos happens. That's what I meant to prevent as in stop even before it happens. And as was said enough above me already, it's not that easy (understatement) locating who did it and even harder might be getting him out of his country.

this article is a great example of the difficulty involved

 

it took the fbi 1 year to track down the ddoser, it took 6 years to extradite him to the US for charges, and it took 1 year for court proceedings 

 

if if we apply the same time schedule for apb, will the game even be alive by the time the ddoser is in court?

Well thanks for proving my point I suppose. And this was just one guy. There are professionals out there for hire.
