Some of the most sensational security attacks, such as the CodeRed [CERT 2001-19], the Melissa virus [CERT 1999-04],
and the Slammer worm [CERT 2003-04, Moore 2003] use the Internet to spread themselves but attack operating systems or application
software itself. This being a networking book, our focus will be on attacks that exploit, cripple, or involve the network
in some special way.
