Gwapo's Professional DDOS Service

This is almost certainly a prank or a parody. DNS for ddossite.com points to IP 199.83.134.131. "whois 199.83.134.131" shows the IP is inside an IP block owned by "Incapsula Inc". Googling the company name yields <a href="http://www.incapsula.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.incapsula.com/</a>, which says they are a network security company and they provide DDoS protection.

Not sure if this a joke or not, but when I saw the post title I thought it was going to be a service to simulate heavy load conditions to your site, which would actaully be very useful.<p>I imagine that someone must be running something like that already. If not, someone should build it. Time to go google.<p>Out of interest: how many people here would pay for such a service?

I didn't see where the website owner specifies that they will illegally DDoS a website. It could actually be a brilliant strategy, take a payment for DDoSaaS then after the payment has been received, ask for proof from the client that the website they have requested DDoS'ed is their own (as an analytic tool to see how your website would perform under attack perhaps). If they can't provide the proof, the site owner is not allowed to perform the DDoS, with no need to refund the money, as anyone complaining about failure to furnish advertised service would be incriminating themselves.<p>EDIT: I completely failed to watch the video. It is pretty specific, hopefully a joke. Perhaps the real business model here is (since it says it only accepts serious requests from businesses) to pivot to Blackmail-as-a-service (BmaaS?)

I fail to see why HN'ers don't see this as a joke.

If this is serious (it doesn't look serious) it's going to get shut down very fast. For any actual "professional DDoS" services you'd need to find them via .onion sites (think Silkroad, etc).

IANAL, but isn't it a felony to DDoS a property you don't own? This guy is effectively claiming he'll perform federal offenses for $5/hour by DDoSing a competitor's website, right?

I can't tell if he's serious. What makes anyone think this is real? Serious question.

This is kind of disappointing and I hope it won't get traction.
