http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/denial_of_service.html

A "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service. Examples include


attempts to "flood" a network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic
attempts to disrupt connections between two machines, thereby preventing access to a service
attempts to prevent a particular individual from accessing a service
attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person

Not all service outages, even those that result from malicious activity, are necessarily denial-of-service attacks. Other types of attack may include a denial of service as a component, but the denial of service may be part of a larger attack.

Illegitimate use of resources may also result in denial of service. For example, an intruder may use your anonymous ftp area as a place to store illegal copies of commercial software, consuming disk space and generating network traffic

Hope that helps.

Theres nothing wrong with your statement Thyla. So your a little angsty in it. Your human. Your allowed to be a bit pissed off. Tough noogies if peeps don't like it. Especially with the amount of stress you seem to have gone thru in regards to the matter.
