I'm not sure, but the DoS attack that hit us isn't too hard to stop if an system admin is available to stop it. We just blocked it at the firewall.

DoS attacks are usally the work of ammature that think they are good! It is very easy to stop it (unlike a DDoS). But a DDoS takes a lot more preparation and time to put into place.
Its a shame that some people have so much free time that they can't do anything better than trying to break the hard work of other people!

Wow, im happy that Daft was able to stop the attack. Its kinda sad that ppl really go through the trouble of disturbing other peoples hard work. What gratification can anyone possibly get out of that? Well, i believe in karma, so what comes around goes around, and ppl like the one who attempted the attack will get theirs.
Yes however as much as i hate to say it... a good DoS attack would be harder than just a firewall... Maybe this guy/girl could be playing us for a fool and just decided to back-off and let the firewall take it down... you know like toy around with us...
But heck, what do i know, anyways if it was a full-scale attack then excellent blocking Daft...

DoS -> Denial Of Service.
Everytime your computer displays FTV, he asks the FTV sever for information (the web page or the anime you want). But what happens if your computer was to send requests to FTV VERY VERY fast without even letting time to FTV to answer back? The FTV server would be so busy to answer you that it would not have time to answer many other people. Those people would get a timeout error and it would look like the server was down.
DDoS -> Distributed Denial Of Service
Basicly the same as a DoS. Except that it is not a single computer attacking the server. Those are usally done with a virus. The virus infects a few thousand computers over the world. And at some point, all those computer each start a DoS attack on the same server.
The result is that there are a lot more request sent to the server and it is harder to block because you can't simply block the offending machine Simply because there are a lot and its hard to seperate the machines that are attacking from the regular people wanting to browser FTV.
I hope this helps
