re: #121 ozbloke

Can you name any country and law that would suggest a DOS attack is illegal?

Here
In the Police and Justice Act 2006, the United Kingdom specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks and set a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.[43]

In the US, there can be a serious federal crime under the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996 with penalties that include years of imprisonment. Many other countries have similar laws
