I been having problem accessing a few blogs, web and doing my routine visit to certain web and forums. It has been a problem with a very slow streamyx and plus some of the web can’t be access at all. Is my hosting in a problem at the moment. I felt like it but it is still live on the internet except that some of the features on the cpanel can’t be use. Hopefully it’ll be fine in the near future. If not complaining is the only thing that i can do and if that fails hopefully it is for a very good reasons.
DDos Attack is said to be the main culprit of the slow and the denial in accessing a blog, web and forum. DDos Attack is acronym for Denial Of Service Attack.vOn top of that, it is said the attack was on TM server. Hmm does that means that TM server are easily manipulated and gotten them to be attack. Aren’t the suppose to upgrade their system. Is this what monopoly means? They can do anything they want? I didn’t really know what it means actually but my search ended up at Wikipedia and this is the definition given by the Wikipedia.
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even DNS root servers.
One common method of attack involves saturating the target (victim) machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consume its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
Denial-of-service attacks are considered violations of the IAB’s Internet Proper Use Policy. They also commonly constitute violations of the laws of individual nations
