[CISSP-D] Help determine type of attack

Subject: [CISSP-D] Help determine type of attack
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 14:52:37 -0000 


Hello all,

Let's say someone wrote a script which floods a web discussion forum with 
offensive messages. That, in its turn, deters legitimate users from using the 
site. However, the traffic volume isn't high enough to crash the server or to 
prevent users from accessing it.

1. Would that be a type of DoS attack? If not, what is it?
2. Is there a technology, besides the "human check" or "security code" type of 
screeners, to separate human writers and scripts, and that isn't a hassle for 
the users?

Thank you,
Andrey
