RE: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

Without a doubt.

The insidious thing about a DOS attack is that the hacker is doing exactly
what the site wants. generating traffic.  What makes it bad is that the
hacker is generating way more traffic (and useless traffic) then the site
can handle.  Makes it very hard to prevent.

Subject: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

During the recent outrages at Yahoo and the others, by hackers who as I
understand it, overload the web servers, with excessive email, I was
wondering if this could happen to an AS/400 web server?
