🔐 Dostivists and SYN floods | How the DDoS epidemic began.





One of the first cases occurred in a laboratory at the University of Illinois, when a student disabled 31 PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) terminals using a simple script—the first e-learning system connected by a shared computer network.





He distributed the "ext" command, which was responsible for connecting external devices to the terminal.





If these devices were not detected when processing the request, the system would freeze, and work could only be resumed after a reboot.
