Best Answer

By definition, a successful DoS attack denies service, i.e. it degrades or interrupts the availability of a system, application, network, etc. Ultimately what it "accomplishes" depends on the target and the response. It may cost a lot of money, embarrass, threaten, or interfere with the mission of the attacked entity. It may provide notoriety for the attacker or be used to draw attention to the attacker's pet cause. It can provide an advantage to an entity by preventing a competitor from operating. It can also provide obfuscation for another attack occurring at the same time.
