.0. FOREWORD
In this paper I have tried to answer the following questions:

• What is a denial of service attack?
• Why would someone crash a system?
• How can someone crash a system.
• How do I protect a system against denial of service attacks?

I also have a section called SUGGESTED READING were you can find information about good free information that can give you a deeper understanding about something. Note that I have a very limited experience with Macintosh, OS/2 and Windows and most of the material are therefore for Unix use. You can always find the latest version at the following address:
