Social Crime

The messages sent out on Twitter by Payne on December 2, 2014, contained a link for a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on the SLCPA website. The distributed (DDoS) was an attempt to make a machine or network resource inaccessible to its intended users. Networks have a limited amount of connections at any given time. The defendant exploited this limit by initiating as many connections with SLCPA website,

This Denial of Service (DoS) intrusion event started unfolding as the clinic’s users of the internet started to experience such slowness in connecting to systems that they were unable to perform their jobs. This lack of

The obvious definition of crime is the legal definition of an act which breaks the law. However, the Oxford English Dictionary extends this to include an act which is ‘injurious to the public welfare … An evil or injurious act; an offence, sin; esp. of a grave character' (Mooney et

This presentation discusses an incident known as a denial of service (DoS) as well as an intrusion of the clinic’s network systems. A denial of service (DoS) attack is designed to shut down services which a business needs to operate. This incident caused widespread slowness and outages to internet services and affected the clinic’s capability to properly treat its patients. In this presentation, the incident is examined. The processes to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate and recover from the

A crime is defined as “an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government” by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. This can include anything from a minor act, such as a traffic violation, to anything as severe as murder. We wrongfully think that a crime is something other than it actually is. Crime in our everyday lives is socially constructed.

DNS is critical in the footprinting of a target network. It can sometimes save the attacker a lot of time, or at least corroborate other information that has been gathered. DNS is also a target for several types of attack.

What would you do if someone threatened to DDoS/DoS the server: I would mute them first then temp ban him/her as fast as I can (and than tell a higher up staff member to ip-ban them) because if you DDoS/SoS a server it 's like you DDoS a company because the server may be the way on income for the owner, and I would also make sure to tell a higher up staff member to ban them in case they may have already did something or we may be able to prevent it from happening, or so we can tell the players the server will go down for a little bit

Imagine that you get home from a hard day at work or school, have a bite to eat, and then sit at your computer. After you've checked your e-mail, you're ready to play an online game. Excitement begins to build, but then you notice your browser was denied access to your network, preventing you from connecting to the Internet. In desperation, you turn your computer's power off and restart it. After the reboot, your computer still cannot reach any networked service. Since only your computer was involved, you think it may be a Denial of Service attack. However, days later you learn that the attack you experienced was a Distributed Denial of Service, an attack involving numerous computers that flooded the game servers and prevented anyone from gaining

A DoS Attack, or Denial-of-Service attack, is an attack that that fill a network with lots of useless traffic. Many DoS attacks, such as the Ping of Death and Teardrop attacks, exploit limitations in the TCP/IP protocols. A couple of the most recent DoS attacks have been directed to Capitol One and SunTrust Banks. In October Capital One and SunTrust were attacked by this Denial-of-Service. Capital One’s website was inaccessible for 8 hours because the network was just filled with useless traffic. In the next couple of days SunTrust bank suffered performance issues.

Smurf Attack: The Smurf Attack is a denial-of-service attack in which large numbers of ICMP packets with the intended victim's spoofed source IP are broadcast to a computer network using an IP Broadcast address. This causes all hosts on the network to reply to the ICMP request, causing significant traffic to the victim's computer. For example, if there are n hosts connected to a network then attacker can make the entire host to send n reply packet to the victim by sending a single packet to

Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a very common cyber menace that renders websites and other online means inaccessible to intended users. There are various types of DoS threats and nearly all directly target the core server structure. Others abuse weaknesses in application and communication proprieties. DoS is also used as a cover-up for other wicked actions, and to take down security applications like web firewalls. A prosperous DoS attack is very obvious and impacts the entire online user base.

They have coordinated many distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on various organizations. A DDoS attack is an attack in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, causing a denial of service for users of the attacked system. The excess of incoming messages to the target system essentially forces it to shut down, thereby denying service to the system to legitimate users.

Denial-of-service is an attack aimed to refuse access for legitimate users and disrupt service availability according to www.msdn.microsoft.com. This type of security threat according to www.tech.co.uk is rapidly increasing on the Internet due to open doors on Websites. By using the Internet, companies increase the risk of denial of service attack. Denial of service can also be caused by too many connected to a server at the same making run slow or unavailable to others. People who deliberately abuse a network server are often difficult to track down.

Distributed denial of service is hard to block. Due to much traffic, system could not tolerate the unacceptable requests from different machines. A single user is attacked from the number of attackers. The millions of requests force the computer to shut down. The main purpose of denial of service is to disturb business of specific organization. The normal work is effected such as make server unavailable to its regular users. A single blockage of an IP address could not stop the attack.

A crime is the breaking of certain rules laid out by a society i.e. the Government. Crime is said to be ‘activities that break the law and are subject to official punishment (Holborn and Haralambos, 2000, pg. 330)
