Probably zilch - most of these attacks are just script kiddies playing with rented DDoS toys or testing their malware. Benefit? None, unless they're after a quick ransom or using you as a guinea pig. If you think you're gonna track these black hats down without mad packet-sniffing skills or a cybersec pro, dream on. Your logs might show some sketchy IPs, but good luck piercing their VPN onion.

And seriously, no WAF or CDN yet? That's like leaving your front door wide open in a shady hood. Harden your infra with rate-limiting and failover, or keep crying when the next flood nukes your sad little sites.

Good point. Many DDoS attacks on domains are driven by someone's agenda rather than random mischief. Could be a competitor sabotaging uptime, extortionists demanding a ransom, or politically-motivated actors trying to cause disruption.

A DDoS attack on a domain name is typically carried out by hackers, competitors, or cybercriminals to disrupt services, damage reputations, demand ransoms, or overwhelm servers.
