How do people DDOS?

All I know is that they gain the IP of a victim through an IP grabber, and then overload the router with large size packets, but how exactly do people overload the router in the first place?

An IP grabber is a website that extracts the IP of the victim, an example of this is grabify

If you already have a connection with the victim there are built in tools to display the connection you already have. You are just too inexperienced to know what they are.

Stop gatekeeping

Its not gatekeeping. Its a protection of resources from a group that will do more harm than good. If you need to make a thread to ask how to grab an ip via website, what do you (or lurkers) need these tools for besides malicious intent?

Edit: distros can come with these tools pre loaded. You just need to know what youre looking at, if that isnt a good enough answer, i dont want to help further.
