No these are two different methods.

Overloading a server using SYNC packets which initiate a connection then ignoring the connection request is a DOS or denial of service attack.

Entering data into a server via a program or webpage which has poor validation or coding which allows code to be inserted on the server by exceeding the pointer limit is a buffer overflow exploit.

All classes have a way to increase the damage that they do. For melee classes, this is Attack Power (AP). They more AP that you have, the more damage that you do each attack. For Hunters, you need Ranged Attack Power (RAP). This is because hunter's do not use melee attack power. Hunter's get this mainly from agility, and some gear. For casters/healers it is Spellpower (SP). This is mainly received from talents and gear. SP also helps healers in that the more SP that they have the more they heal each time.
