DDoS: A Distributed Denial of Service attack is carried out by flooding servers with acid.. Oops!! ..data till they r crippled and cant service genuine requests. A popular method is the dreaded Ping of Death-pinging a server repeatedly infrom different sources. Most Web sites are still quite vulnerable to this type of attack and itz general favourite among those with malicious intent.
Trojan Horse: These r not hyperbaton horses neighin around. A program that comes disguised as something harmless, even useful, but really opens up access to a computer, making it a participant in a DDoS attack other computers.
