I think of them as wizards, the wizards of the internet.
What makes Kim Wolf different is how it spreads.
So DDoS attacks are basically when you get a bunch of computers and they flood another computer with just like junk data, like, hey, could you send me this webpage?
And that junk data eventually slows down the computer to the point where it doesn't work.
They sort of flood the zone with internet traffic and then the target doesn't work anymore.
The concern here was that they could knock out the internet.
That was the concern, like the internet could get wiped out with this phenomenon.
The message was, be afraid.
Be very afraid.
Residential proxy is really a way of just masquerading as somebody else.
On the internet, we all have something that's like the equivalent of our phone number.
It's called an IP address.
And these IP addresses basically are good indicators of who's visiting your websites.
What residential proxy does is it basically lets you Airbnb that IP address.
So you might actually get paid to allow somebody to go from your IP address to anywhere on the internet.
Any kind of online criminal activity.
This could be like nation states hacking into corporations.
This could be ticket scalpers trying to buy a bunch of tickets.
You know, identity fraud.
So it's basically any kind of crime you can think about that happens on the Internet happens with residential proxy networks.
