New page

'''Bandwidth raep''', in essence, entails large numbers of individuals intently visiting a target site and downloading pages or requesting vast amounts of information--usually images, with the intent that these requests will effect a rapid drain of the website's bandwidth, exhausting the site's quota so that it goes offline.

For example, if 100 people continuously download/request a 10kb file simultaneously for 12 hours, this would raep approximately 40 gigabytes of the site's bandwidth. Assuming that the target site only has 40G of bandwidth per month, it would go offline 12 hours later when the bandwidth threshold is exceeded. The website will remain off-line until the following month, when the bandwidth quota will be reset.

Some people confuse bandwidth raep with a denial-of-service attack. A DoS attack affects all websites on the server or network. However, bandwidth raep only downloads images.

* As the quota is usually reset at the beginning of every month, it is generally recommended to start bandwidth rape right after this reset, to maximize the downtime incurred. However, some start at different times, so knowing when their cycle begins can be a challenge; often you just have to go for it.

** [[PyRAEP]]
