DDoSing is highly illegal, however it is not quite that easy to trace the culprit.

actually in fact some people do ddos testing to test their networks bandwidth which is basically how we acquired how to actually ddos people ddos is basically an exploit from a test to something bad. so yeah it can be legal if your doing it on your own website, but if you do it to someone elses website, that'll never be legal. no matter what the website.

Legal to yourself or with written permission.
Illegal to others or without written permission.

Or if you bought a site/server and it is in their rules that it is not allowed, then you cannot do it to yourself.

To have a successful DDoS attack, you must do it in numbers....

Not just a successful DDoS attack... to have a DDoS attack whatsoever you have to have more than one machine.

I see, so even if you was DDoSing your own localhost with just one machine you wouldn't see a massive increase in traffic? Just very minimal traffic?

Okay, so DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service. Distributed alone indicates that for an attack to qualify as a DDoS, the attack must be distributed across multiple machines (meaning that there must be more than one attacker).

If you were to simply DoS your localhost, you probably wouldn't be able to do much (I doubt DoSing anything would do very much), unless you used something like a Slowloris and you were running Apache.
