I’m still don’t know what DOS means?
What does DOS stand for in Computer Science?
Stands for “Disk Operating System.”. DOS was the first operating system used by IBM-compatible computers. It was originally available in two versions that were essentially the same, but marketed under two different names. “PC-DOS” was the version developed by IBM and sold to the first IBM-compatible manufacturers.
I read before what NXIVM DOS meant but I forgot. Some kind of inner circle slave crap.
Besides the old software stuff, It means “denial of service”. It can take the form of multiple types of attacks against a website or system that prevents normal use.
Could be multiple ping setup, multiple requests, mass mails, etc anything to overwhelm the systems in place.
In a sense mass phone calls to a number could be considered a denial of service attack as they provent the “normal” course of business.
In the same frame, I suppose you could consider the mass influx of illegal aliens using our benefits programs as a type of denial of service as the systems become more and more overwhelmed.
It was driving me nuts after you posted that, so I looked a bit and found this:
...DOS, Latin for “master over the slave women.”
