Essentially, without any pseudo-childish-hacking fuss, it simply goes like this: DDoS attack is like a mob attack on a shop or a riot. When that happens, the shop is shut down and curfew maybe imposed on the area. DDoS is a coordinated attack on a web server, overflowing it with huge amounts of requests and traffic that the poor server’s resources are forced to become unavailable. Darknet is just like an area of abandoned houses.
