> Sorry for the way newbie q. here but what are those DOSS > attacks? I've heard that there is no solution for them. true? "DOS" in this case refers to denial-of-service attacks. "DDOS" refers to distributed denial-of-service attacks. Denial-of-service attacks occur when an attack overwhelms a server with data. The server may still be working correctly, but be too busy responding to the attack data to service legitimate data requests. The reason that there isn't a general solution to these sorts of attacks is that they generally rely on the attacker having more bandwidth than the target. To get that bandwidth, the attacker may use lots of "zombie" computers to attack a single target - a distributed DOS attack.
