OK, DDoSing and lagswitching has been a big deal in the Destiny community recently, so here's what I know: In Destiny, there's often a weekend-long PvP showdown with top-tier in-game rewards. The game type is 3v3 with no matchmaking, so you must bring your own team; the best rewards are for winning 9 in a row. If your team disconnects, it counts as a loss (no cowards here!). The way Destiny is set up, one player's console is considered the "host" and all the other players connect to it. So if you or someone on your team (a 50-50 chance) is the host, you can see the IPs of everyone in the game by monitoring network traffic. If not, you can still see the host's IP. Find out IP of any opposing player, aim the botnet, fire. Boom. You've instantly got a one-player advantage. Repeat ad nauseam. Suddenly going 9-0 isn't so daunting. The worst part? Unlike other network manipulations, this one is a lot harder for Bungie to prove. But you can bet they're working on it, and they aren't shy about wielding the banhammer if they find cheating.
