Slow motion Dos attacks!
Hi guys,
A little heads up if you havent seen this. Apparently there is a proof of concept for a new type of DOS attack. From what I understand it works by opening a TCP connection then sending no free buffer packet to the server. This blocks the server connection open as it will then send ACK packets waitiing for the buffer to clear. Here is a link to the story :

Any one have a take on this?
cheers
