I have no idea, why this ended up here, but if you are interested in some technical details what SF does: http://blog.stormforger.com/2014/05/27/load-testing-an-inter...

Wow, this sounds really impressive, especially:

> Here are a few numbers: StormForger did a total of 1,213,583,187 requests in over 50 load test runs to the Quizduell system and a total of about 2.21 TB of data was moved. The error rate was at about 0.000000216% (1 error every 4,624,616 requests).

You are referring to the error rate? :) We actually did about 800M additional requests two days after I've written the post.

Impressive. It's not their fault and they seem to be good and talented, but I can't stop thinking about a possible marketing line: "DDoS as a Service".

Normally services like this make you add a DNS record and/or file to the target to confirm you are the owner.
