DOS


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


Edit Too slow in trying , Just saw spudoy's post.

More likely the greenies who are trying to get big cars off the road [local TV had a add using a RRC without wheels to illustrate that we should get big cars of the road] or else those who have lost their jobs and want to head bush with a rifle to live of the land.

Did Incisor forget to check the oil and water in the server?

Incisor you are not running a web-site - mate, you are at War!!! And we are your support team, so I suppose we are too!

I reckon there's not much we can do to help you Inc - except show some patience and battle it through with you;)
