Malevolent forces like viruses that send out huge amounts of e-mail or denial-of-service attacks designed to flood servers with junk data can also bring the Internet to a grinding crawl.
"We believe it was a denial of service attack designed to disrupt access to our site," Ms. DeCourcy said.
The chapter also discusses Nessus architecture and design, host detection, service detection, vulnerability fingerprinting, and denial-of-service testing.
This paper is concerned with the detection and compensation co-design issue for cyber-physical systems against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack.
We investigate the analysis and design of a control strategy for nonlinear systems under Denial-of-Service attacks.
In this article the design strategy is however focussed on security, and more specifically on preventing denial-of-service attacks originating from mobile agents running on the platform.
Finally, we show their effectiveness in the design of an ULS overlay network provided with evolutionary strategies for facing denial-of-service attacks.
Unfortunately, algorithms capable of solving image based CAPTCHAs can be used to create spam accounts and design malicious denial of service (DoS) attacks, causing financial and social damage.
The bill purportedly protects teachers who might somehow face disciplinary action for teaching (for example) intelligent design or denial of anthropogenic climate change.
The main contribution of this paper is the experimental assessment of existing and future network design approaches in the presence of real malware (e.g., Stuxnet) and synthetic attacks (e.g., denial-of-service attacks).
