Distributed Denial of Service

It's done with more than one puter, as many as hundreds, each using
maximum bandwidth and/or service requests at one service provider, or
groups of providers on one pipe. If you have a flood net of 50 puters on
separate 256K DSL lines, you can shut down a provider on a much larger
bandwidth pipe and with much more puter power. Of course, it's also illegal
and gets the FBI involved. From what i hear, the new internet node software
will be able to detect traffic source / destination / bandwidth, and be able to
detect some DDoS attacks, logging them and shutting them down before
they can do any harm. Afaik, it won't be in use till the new 6-octet ip addys
are in use, but i could be mistaken.
