Bristol indymedia got sent a link for a DDos site -
http://www.fraw.org.uk/ehippies/iraq/primary.html
There seems to be a debate going on about the legitimacy of this kind of
on-line protest. . It has legal implications for indymedia and wether it
could be sued for advocating this. hmmm
cheers

Distributed Denial of Service
Refers to DoS (Denial of Service) - an acronym for the disruption that
results from an attack on a network. Hackers execute a DoS with the intent
of blocking individuals' ability to access Web sites or e-mail. The most
common form of DoS results from an attacker who sends so many messages to a
Web site that it can't respond to regular users or it shuts down completely
(see: broadcast storm). DoS is a criminal act, even if done as a prank;
major attacks are aggressively investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice.
DDoS stands for "Distributed Denial of Service," an attack in which a
multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing a
DoS for users of the targeted system. The flood of incoming messages to the
target system essentially forces it to shut down, thereby denying service
to legitimate users.
This is all the stuff from the last days advocating a DDoS:
