It's not clearly stated. I think what they mean to say is DoS on Facebook using brute force mechanism as testing this would bring down the Facebook system itself. Now manipulating Facebook's server to cause the attack, that'd be different I guess.
- mattmanser 12y agoI agree with you, forcing Facebook to be your zombie of doom is very different to attempting to DoS facebook. If you can easily cause any website to become an on demand low orbit ion cannon, they're going to cause problems.
- userbinator 12y ago> If you can easily cause any website to become an on demand low orbit ion cannon You can do this with any website that lets users post links which may or may not be automatically loaded (by other users too). There are tons of these around; forums, blogs, etc. See also: Slashdot effect. That's also a true DDoS, coming from many IPs, as compared with a few of Facebook's servers.
