Our text discusses a variety of ways to conduct a DoS attack. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, successful DoS attacks can wreak real havoc on their victims. Why is a DoS so serious and how can we defend against it? Of the five DoS types discussed in the text, is it important to understand the type of DoS in order to most effectively defend against it? Why or why not?

You must include at least one scholarly citation. This is not a "book report", so please use your citation to underpin your understanding of the subject matter but do not simply summarize your source. You are also not allowed to use quotations from your source, nor are you allowed to plagiarize.

Responding to a classmate's post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward.

Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts.

As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.
