According to the ethical hacking researcher at the International Institute of Cyber Security, 0x-booter is the most common and updated way to attack any website because it offers some affordable price for a DDOS attack.
0x-booter is the new popular DDOS service that is to be hired for DDOS attacks. 0x-booter has gained 500gbps of power to defame any website. They have 20 k bots to their services which they used while attacking.
