So I have been thinking for a while... Is it possible to use a computer to overcome DDOS Attacks?
I mean like, the main router in your house or in your business is the box who controls the internet, right? And a DDOS attack is just packets flowing into your router. The packets must be controlled in the router, like if it needs to pass through or drop it from accessing the intranet/internet. So I was thinking, why not use a computer instead with two Ethernet ports?
The router needs to control each packet and a router has a CPU and RAM? Why not use a computer that can do this faster? Drop or allow packets much faster just by using a computer with decent a decent proccessor and enough RAM?

I don't know if this works or not, it was just an idea that came to me...
