A SYN flood was used to exhaust available network connections and prevent legitimate users to connect to Panix servers. The attack targeted different computers on the provider’s network, including mail, news, name and Web servers along with user “login” machines. It was launched in September, 1996 (although documentations vary) against Panix, New York City’s oldest Internet service provider. One of the first known and publicly documented DDoS attacks. Panix – SYN Flood and domain hijacking (19) Injecting a Trojan virus by exploiting system vulnerabilities and launching attacks against the target through botnets are the most common technical methods of DDoS attacks. Although Morris did not launch attacks by controlling infected computers in a centralised way, it was the rudiment of DDoS attacks by exploiting botnets. The malware was quickly detected during the spreading due to its large consumption of system resources.
