alright bro, lemme just quickly attack a server with a Digital Video Recorder 
Just thought the same thing you could probably check if the server was lagging by seeing the time between each heartbeat on the server and if that goes too high then save every players data and just send them to a different server

Maybe not that image but the ddosing itself is true.
Actually, it is how the DDoS works. They use infected/hacked DVRs to send the data packets from them to the provided IP.
People infected dvrs as most of them are connected to the internet and they use them to ddos
No??
thats not how DVRS work.
You dont know anything abt ddossing.

And the fact that 1 google search will show you theres 100 more articles I dont know how I can prove this further, like just research it yourself, the evidence is pretty substantial.
i don’t think you would hook up a whole DVR just to ddos some random roblox server LOL
All it takes is a single attempt at Googling “DVR DDoS attack” to know it’s both true and widely used, why you may ask? DVRs and camera systems require a certain port to be opened on the router to have remote access enabled, which is a port people can use to send packets in a DDoS attack.
DDoS attacks can target any open port that isn’t secured by DDoS protection, and usually due to the large amount of data that gets transferred from and to a DVR or camera system they tend to not include protection due to false positives, as DDoS protection is pretty primitive and can easily mistake gigabytes of camera feed data as a DDoS attack and either cause massive latency or entire connection drops, which obviously isn’t favourable.
So essentially, they can target the ports that are required to be open by these systems to mount an attack.

It’s not their dvrs, its other peoples cheep dvrs with a generic password for each one with backdoors built in, they are made to ddos.
Its basically just a botnet made of dvrs.
…all are from no name news sites that only a very small percentage of people actually trust, yeah no thanks
229,000 results, I dont know what you want me to do to convince you. Go write a paper about it will that convince you enough that one google search will prove you wrong, just because you dont want to prove yourself wrong doesn’t mean you should disregard over 200 thousand sources.
Maybe they aren’t big names but 200k articles.

Even if you don’t believe the websites, it’s common sense. These systems require a port to be opened to the public which allows people to target said ports to mount an attack. That’s not a theory, that’s literally just how it works.
Even if you refuse to believe the millions of results from websites you don’t know, fully ignoring the facts behind internet security and protocol attacks is ignorant.
The moment you open a port to the public on your or your company’s router it becomes an attack vector for anyone who knows about it, and since DVRs and security camera systems are widely used by civilians and corporations alike it is an easy target, since in a lot of cases it’s guaranteed to be a possible attack vector for people with malicious intents.
That’s literally the entire premise of a DDoS attack, you target a specific port (or ports) on a specific IP and nuke it with packets of data until the system responsible for processing those requests can no longer keep up and crashes. It doesn’t matter if the port belongs to a DVR or camera system or Minecraft or Roblox server, as long as the port is open and unsecured, it’s vulnerable.
When it comes to a DVR, these are usually the ports required to be open and thus ports that can be attacked:
And as mentioned above, some of them can also be compromised when they still have a default password set and be used in a botnet to target others.

The third result is literally a government website, that isn’t a “no name news site”

Ddosing is a huge issue, experienced it myself. Only real way to get through it is by caving into their demands (leads to them just redoing it for more) or finding something they care about and ruining that until they stop.

You can prevent noobs from getting the server ip by using teleport service to tp to a game in your place
They can still get the ip even if you do this
