Denial of Service: Denial-of-service attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People with too much time on their hands and nothing better to do

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

1. 
   
   • 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.
