DDoS attacks overload and damage servers using installed DDoS viruses.

====== Requirements ======

To launch a DDoS attack you generally need:

  * The target listed in your [[Hacked Database]].
  * Enough running DDoS viruses on other servers.
  * A DDoS Breaker.
  * Enough total power to matter.

====== DDoS Power ======

DDoS power depends on:

  * CPUs of infected servers.
  * Your own server power.
  * Installed DDoS virus versions.
  * Game balance settings.

====== Logs ======

DDoS attacks can leave logs on the launcher, the victim, and each participating infected server.
