I am genuinely curious how effective it would be to randomly target IP addresses that send out spam. Are there any real consequences to this?
More than likely it would be like throwing a pebble at an asteroid right?

For DDoS attacks to work, you need to send out tremendous amounts of traffic. Something a single computer cannot achieve. Hence why it is usually carried out by a large net of compromised computers.
So yes, if it's just you and your computer, it is kind of like throwing a pebble at a planet.
