I swear Sony has the cheapest 

 

 

Calm down man, I was making a joke. Can't understand basic humour, sight. And usually servers pick up on DDos and stop it. A server wouldn't usually serve 50million requests from a single point. Obviously these people knew a way to get around modern protocols of stopping DDos and had a fair few resources and know how to bring down a infrastructure that can serve tens of millions of people at once.

so it is a fault in their security because their servers continuously served empty requests that it should of picked up on. Please educate me on how it's not a fault in their security. I'm not saying it only happens to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have probably been subjected to it at one point and xbox live is brought down without attacks (xD). 

Please learn to read humour, people on the internet aren't as ignorant as you think.

LMAo no, just no. Amazzong went down they have the biggest server farm in the world...There is NO Way for a server to know the diff from a DDOS attack and regular users hitinmg the servers from thousands of bots.

No.... Please the basics of a DDos is to split the information to handlers and go after the target. There is a lot of ways to stop that, Ips based prevention, black holing and sink holing firewalls on switches, routers and servers, etc. 

making thousands of bots isn't viable you compromise handlers. Because you would not have the bandwidth to make the amount of bots to take down a server farm.
