A denial of service attack is a technique that hackers use once they have already gained access to an individual computer, or a larger network. They essentially keep the computer or network so busy that it cannot access the internet. One would not use this technique to stop hackers. Strong virus and malware protection, coupled with a firewall, is the best defense.
