	A DDoS attack is an attack where a server is flooded beyond its processing power (bandwidth and maximum simultaneous connections, typically) to take it down. Connections are spammed to a server, particularly from multiple sources (a DDoS from a single source is called a DoS), in an attempt to take it down. This is common across the internet, and DDoS attacks are often launched against anything from webservers to game servers.
