While DoS, Denail of service, is a type of attack that people make against computers. It is usually done by flooding the server with packets not allowing it to establish a connection with any other computer, there for denying people service. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,204 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,204 Likes: 11 | DOS = Operating System (or used to be)
DoS = Denial of Service
Where ping is the main protocol used in denial of service, you will not be able to flood someone offline with windows ping on 56k through DOS. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 36 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 36 | ROFL. This is definately one for the hall of fame. This guy called masterh4x0r comes and asks about a DoS but gets it mixed up with DOS. I would refrain from thinking your a total idiot if your name wasnt masterh4x0r.

Send many packets to flood the wall then shut it down? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 9 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 9 | Yeah, that's what they did before firewalls beefed up their security...and even i'm not dumb enough to confuse DOS and DoS...and as an intelligent response...It's a bit more than just telneting to a host and ping them....if you have a slow computer, then it's not going to do much good, becuase they'll probably recover faster...if you're on cable (as most web servers are), it takes a LOT of pings to shut you down.
