DoS Attack

Short for denial-of-service attack, a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic.

This is normally accomplished by automatically having email address books send an email to each address listing. In turn, each recipient's address book does the same. Entire mail systems are quickly flooded and brought to a halt.

For all known DoS attacks, there are software fixes that system administrators can install to limit the damage caused by the attacks. But, like viruses, new DoS attacks are constantly being dreamed up by hackers.

Q. "I've always been fascinated by hot air balloons. Is there anywhere in the New York area that offers these balloon rides?

Windows 95 was aimed at the home consumer. It was a replacement for the original Windows 3.1. Windows 95 was available in three versions.
    The original version
    Windows 95 OSR2 (an updated version)
    Windows 95 OSR2 (with USB support)

Windows 98 was a follow up from Windows 95 with various improvements and enhancements. It comes in two versions:
    The original Windows 98
    Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)

Windows ME (millenium Edition) is the latest version of Windows and will be replaced by a brand new version of windows late in 2001

Windows CE (Compact Edition) is the version of Windows that you may find on a palmtop or handheld computer.

Windows NT or ‘New Technology’ is really aimed at the corporate market. (It comes in two versions, Workstation and Server.) For the home consumer It can be complicated to use although there are similarities between Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95/98/ME.

Windows NT Server is the software that large organizations use to run their computer networks.

Windows 2000 comes in various versions and is again aimed at the corporate market but it’s look and feel is the same as Windows ME but with NT technology and features built in. This version is plug and play unlike previous NT software.

Windows XP (previously codenamed Whistler) will replace all versions of Windows and is due to be release on 25th October 2001. It will come in a personal version to use at home and more advanced versions that can be used within the workplace.
