A denial of service attack could never destory the internet. The only real way would be to destory the 14 or so DNS servers all at once so they can't back up. It almost happened a year or so ago. They took out quite a few and now I do believe they are more up to date security wise.Originally Posted by Lindy
While destorying the DNS wouldn't eliminate the net because servers still exist, you couldn't type in www.eyesonff.com anymore. You would have to type crazy stuff in like 124.54.254.2 and see where that leads you and hope you don't end up at a porno site. Don't type that into your browser. I have no clue where it goes and it was a random example.
