| 2.6 DoS Attacks on Sites though DNS Typo, "though" instead of "through". Manipulating the DNS of a popular service can lead to clients sending requests to a different address, which can also constitute a massive distributed attack (see Blaster.E, for example). In a sense, this attack belongs to a class which doesn't seem to be covered by the document: reflection through client-side redirection. For example, the attacker rents ad space on a high-volume site (or compromises the load balancer in front of the ad-server farm), and places a couple of hyperlinks there to the attacker's site. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
