I can't see why are you reloading the pages? Most web servers have a
setting stg like "Maximum number of connections"... You can connect to
a server atmost specified on the server, say 128.
Besides, the browsers have an internal limit of maximum simultaneous
connections, as far as I know, Communicator's is 8! You can check it by
pressing CTRL-T "while" loading a page.
What do we have now? Everybody can connect to server with, say, 16
connections, and server is set to handle 256 connections simultaneously.
Only 16 people can reload the page at once. This does not work!
My approach would be, and I'm sure of this to work, ping-flooding the
server (at least you can drop someone dead on irc w/this method).
How to do this?
PC users:
- create a batch file, say flood.bat
- edit and enter these
:deneme
ping ip_number or address, e.g. ping 123.456.78.90, ping www.blabla.com
goto deneme
- run the "flood.bat" file
the other systems can do it in a similar way, the basic principle is
to ping the server so many times and from so many other places that
it can't reply them all...
