DoS, or denial of service, is generally used to describe (strictly)
the condition that occurs when an attacker uses methods to cut your
connection off from the world. SYN flooding is the most common
example. A DDoS, or distributed denial of service describes a
coordinated attack by many (often more than several hundred) hosts
against the target. What makes a DDoS special is that generally
all of these hosts are acting under the control of one master to
target you. A good example of DDoS software is stacheldracht. (or
is it stacheldraht??? I can't spell)
Anyway, the Internet is full of good information on this topic...
