DoS attack

Read a random definition: carucate

A quick definition of DoS attack:

A DoS attack is when someone tries to make a computer, website, or network stop working by sending too much information or making it malfunction. This can be done by one person or by many people using infected computers. It's like trying to fill up a cup with too much water so it spills over and can't hold any more.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A DoS attack, also known as a denial-of-service attack, is a malicious act that targets a computer, website, network, server, or database with the intention of making it inaccessible. This is usually done by overwhelming the system with activity or by forcing it to malfunction. It is also known as nuking. A distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is carried out by distributing a virus that causes infected computers to try to access the target computer at the same time.

Examples:

  • A hacker sends a large number of requests to a website, causing it to crash and become unavailable to users.
  • A virus infects multiple computers and uses them to send a flood of traffic to a server, making it impossible for legitimate users to access it.

These examples illustrate how a DoS attack can render a system inaccessible by overwhelming it with activity or causing it to malfunction. In the first example, the website is targeted directly, while in the second example, the attack is distributed across multiple infected computers.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications
