DoS Attacks & Glines

Due to the ease of spoofing packets on the Internet and 
the ability to modify log files, ChatNet cannot assume 
that a log entry's data is valid. Thus, there is not 
sufficient cause for a G:line. This applies to things such 
as ICMP floods, nukes, teardrops, and other denial of 
service attacks done on a specific user or operator of the 
ChatNet network. When a denial of service attack is being 
launched at a ChatNet server, however, and investigations 
are done to find the root cause of the DoS attack with a 
program such as MCI's DoSTracker, a G:line can be placed.
