Hello! ! I am newbie in computer world, but I am willing to learn and I hope that you will help me. I want to know what DoS attacks are. I have heard some guys in my school how talks about that, but when I asked them they were very angry. So, can you explain me what this is. Thank you in advance!

Hello! DoS actually means Denial of the Service. I think that those guys are not so nice, because this procedure is used when many users send query at same time to same web server or web page. This query sending causes going down of server or web site. I hope that you have understood me and that this helps you!
