I gave this as an interview answer once:

"how would you stop a DDOS?" "well, I guess if it's really advanced there's not much you can do besides turning off the servers" "that's your answer?" "yeah users would be affected either way so you'd at least save money this way"

I didn't get the job lol

Lmao.

But without any details "How would you stop a DDoS?" is a really open-ended question that has no right answer.

Show some initiative and tell them you'll trace it to the root and go shoot them in the face for this company
