DoS
DoS = Denial of Service
The network that my server is on suffered from it today. One of my “network neighbors” came under attack from an IP from a Japanese university. That pretty killed the network, so my server was inaccessible. That happens from time-to-time, but it still pisses me off. I hope that the attacker wasn’t just going after a random someone. If you’re going to be malicious have some point behind it.
There’s no guarantee that this won’t happen again, so if my server vanishes, just be patient. It’ll come back soon enough.
