eh.. I guess I'm splitting hairs. the goal of 100k bots sending 1 query per second to a service that you know can only sustain 50k queries/second is.. not to economically Dos someone, it's to obliterate their service infrastructure. Sure, you could ALSO target something hosted (for instance) at Amazon-AWS and increase costs by making lots and lots and lots of queries, but that wasn't the point of what Deepak wrote, nor what i corrected. -chris > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 7:29 AM, Guillaume FORTAINE <gforta...@live.com> > wrote: >> From my point of view, it seems similar to the EDoS concept : >> >> http://www.rationalsurvivability.com/blog/?s=EDos >> >> "EDoS attacks, however, are death by a thousand cuts.
