Security Portal: Denial of Service (DoS) FAQ

“Due to the importance of the story and the dynamic nature of
the events surrounding it, we will be focusing our cover story on
the Distributed Denial of Service Attack for at least a portion of
this week. Although the media will obviously focus on the high
profile e-commerce sites, the technology and circumstances behind
the attacks make it a very real threat for any company that relies
on the web. There is not a magic bullet to solve this problem,
but we can pull together as a community and reduce the number of
vulnerable systems that can be proxied for attacks. There are also
some actions you can take to mitigate and recover from such an
attack. We hope this list of Frequently Asked Questions about
Denial of Service will be of assistance to you.”
