Denial in sexual offenders represents the first barrier to successful treatment a clinician is likely to face. However, there is currently no research focusing on the experiences of treatment professionals who treat and manage deniers. This study aimed to bridge this research gap and to gain an insight into the perspectives and experiences of professionals who treat and manage sex offenders in ...

Literature on modern racism identifies denial as one of its key features. This article examines the discourses of denial that feature in the talk of local anti-racism actors in Australia, and asks what drives these discourses. The research draws on qualitative interviews undertaken with participants involved in local anti-racism in two case study areas, one in South Australia and the other in N...

In this paper we present an analysis of Shaft, an example of malware used in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. This relatively recent occurrence combines well-known denial of service attacks (such as TCP SYN flood, smurf, and UDP flood) with a distributed and coordinated approach to create a powerful program, capable of slowing network communications to a grinding halt. Denial of se...

This paper seeks to understand how the denial of health risks and investment in preventative health care are related, and how they are shaped by the underlying environment. I study individuals who derive anticipatory utility from believing that they will be in good health in the future and who are able to actively bias their beliefs. Anticipatory utility provides an incentive to deny health ris...

The conservative movement and especially its think tanks play a critical role in denying the reality and significance of anthropogenic global warming (AGW), especially by manufacturing uncertainty over climate science. Books denying AGW are a crucial means of attacking climate science and scientists, and we examine the links between conservative think tanks (CTTs) and 108 climate change denial ...

Protocol-based denial-of-service attacks are currently one of the greatest threats to survivability. Since they are implemented using the very protocols used for establishing communication, they often do not require any special special privileges on the part of the attacker. Moreover, since most existing protocols were not designed to be resistant to these types of attacks, they are often very ...

Network availability is threatened by the traditional Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The risk is much increased with the emergence of the new computing paradigm of cloud computing. In this era, DDoS attacks can threaten the cloud sustainability by hitting its pricing model exploiting the cloud scalability feature. Therefore, a new phenomenon is emerged...

Network denial-ofservice attacks, which exhaust the server resources, have become a serious security threat to the Internet. Public Key Infrastructure (PU) has long been introduced in various authentication protocols to verifL the identities of the communicating parties. Although the use of PKI can present dijjculty to the denial-of service attackers, the underlying problem has not been resolve...

350 Abstract One of the greatest threats that network security faces nowadays is Distributed Denial of Service attacks. A newer version of the Denial of Service attack, also called Distributed Denial of Service attack or DDoS. In a distributed denialof-service (DDoS) attack, an attacker may use your computer to attack another computer. An attacker may attempt to: “flood” a network and thus redu...

This paper deals with denial of service attack. Overview of the existing attacks and methods is proposed. Classification scheme is presented for a different denial of service attacks. There is considered agent-based intrusion detection systems architecture. Considered main components and working principles for a systems of such kind.
