Title: Can mining gear be used for DoS? Post by: Taras on October 26, 2013, 06:15:41 PM This is all speculative- but would sending hashes to a website's IP or something be enough to be considered dos?
No I don't intend to DoS anyone. I just wanna know if it can be done. Title: Re: Can mining gear be used for DoS?

In either case, the effectiveness of the attack mostly depends on the bandwidth you control (and the bandwidth the target has). Title: Re: Can mining gear be used for DoS?
