    Look, you don’t know what DDOS is, its gonna take a lot of research and resources to do anything that would impact any large corp, no less a guberment.

    Step 1 get lots of computers and lots of friends or bots.

    Step 2 ping (not really) whoever you want to ddos with all the bots and pcs.

    Step 3 profit.
