Anyway, not saying it's not, just from my experience. Also not sure what you mean they are "targeting your weak spots". DDoS bots aren't robots. You point them and they overload, they don't probe your website and scan it for "weak spots". The usually either know the weak spot and hit on it hard, or they hit the "known" weak spots. If you have a "unique" weak spot, it most likely is not a ddos but a bad coding error and your traffic just stalls on that spot.
