DoS ATTACKS: NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. Denial-of-service attacks are becoming more common and, in many cases, more serious, security experts said in the wake of an attack on the Internet's main warning system for security threats. For Stefan Savage, a professor of computer science at the University of California, San Diego, and co-founder of security company Asta Networks, and other security experts, the CERT attack and a similar series of May attacks of the main White House Web site, Whitehouse.gov, underscore the Net's lack of preparedness for handling what could become a catastrophe. The largest problem with denial-of-service attacks is that, for the most part, they can't be traced. The attacks -- which can also take the form of specially formatted data that can crash servers -- are almost impossible to stop, unless the victim has enough clout to convince their Internet provider to help track the source.
