You do not NEED DNS to use the internet if you as sad as JustAndy
If you equate being extremely good at your job with being sad, then I hope for your sake that you're terrible at yours. | |

The internet is a based worldwide and open to the public.
An intranet is usually a private network of websites inside a companies network. It can be worldwide as well, just depends on how big the company is.
For mesh networking read this wiki

Terrorists may try to shut down the internet to stop global trading. The DNS attacks that are being mentioned here would also prevent the sending and receiving of emails as most users still need that to find their mail servers. The world is dependent on emails, and ebanking etc now.
Silly hackers would just want to try and do it because they can. | |

If it's any consolation, I was kidding. | |

Or, as we in IT say about users, "in lame men's terms" :D
(that's my disclaimer so JustAndy can't tell me off for not getting it completely right
Perfectly good description of the difference.
Terrorists may try to shut down the internet to stop global trading.
Except a DNS attack wouldn't do that; most (although not all) trading is done either over direct connections (which don't travel over the "internet" per se), or over VPNs to fixed addresses anyway.
The DNS attacks that are being mentioned here would also prevent the sending and receiving of emails as most users still need that to find their mail servers.
This would quite probably affect inter-company communication, but (for larger organisations, at least) probably wouldn't affect intra-company communciation. In other words, I probably couldn't email Tescos, but I could email my traders (bless their little cotton socks :-) | |

| can the internet be shut down?
Posted: 9/24/2008 1:31:38 AM | | DOS attacks, I wonder just how many Internet users / Businesses / homes that use Microsoft products that have never crashed for one reason or another...whether the dreaded Blue-screen, the incorporated trackers or the plethora of bugs in their badly written code. | |

what have the us military got to do with the net.
They invented it, it was designed to be a communication system that could survive a nuclear war.
Actually more to the point the military commissioned it, it was university geeks who invented it. And on the third day they discovered it was cool.
Seriously though, built to be indestructible. No plugs. | |
