I feel like one reason you should mention is that a company can DDOS itself, to test stress capabilities of a server. Penetration testing is also a prime example because some companies want to test their servers defenses against a DDOS.

There are also DDOS mitigation solutions that can deny traffic and can reduce the impact of a DDOS.

[@stingerbold9327]

what i realised from this video Ddos is actually a dummy load, i am an electronic engineer i also work lot of transformers and power supplys, now example i have a 120 wattage transformer and i'm using a 150 wattage dummy load resistor so what happends here it overloaded and there is no wattage left and alos heat the transformer same as Ddos, Ddos is a same type of dummy load which also overload the network bandwidth and of course no bandwidth left for that net speed getting slow> for ddos ton of dummy processing going on in the cpu and memory for that these components just overheated and slowing down

What happens if you prepare your server to only accept so many people trying to access your server. For instance if your server only has a limit of 10 000 ppl then couldn't you just have the server auto kick ppl out over a certain number like 9000. An only accepts more when there's available space.? I'm not a computer wiz so what i'm saying is probably crap. But if you could create a filter to prevent this from happening by kicking extras off the server this DDOS attacks would be useless or am I just numb.
