What is a DRDOS attack?

[InlineFive]

Just wondering...

When people install an old operating system on your computer.

Did you mean DDOS (distributed denial of service)? Google has plenty o' info.

If you mean a denial of service attack, as per grc.com it is a:
Distributed Reflected Denial of Service,

basically a near impossible to trace DDOS attack bounced around through different computers, keeping the source concealed (after all the attacks are just from infected machines, not said attacker) or something like that. Been a while.

I read his article here a while ago: http://grc.com/dos/drdos.htm
