Theoretically, if the backend code is optimized enough, a DDoS attempt wouldn't lead to a denial of service since all those requests would just get served as normal. And as long as the network isn't the bottleneck, which it probably is in most cases.
- Manfred 6mo agoDDoS saturates the network, not the service. Even a box doing nothing would still be unreachable.
- pixel_popping 6mo agoNot true, a well done DDoS targets also underlying services (example hitting most consuming DB writes).
- junon 6mo agoThere are multiple kinds of ddos attacks targeting different levels of infrastructure. Idk how anyone can say absolutely that a ddos works in one specific way.
- walletdrainer 6mo agoA well done DDoS gets the target depeered :)
