Yes , there are lots of kinds of DOS attacks .
But I said it wasn't a typical DOS attack .
Under typical I mean , fill a connection with random data coming from random IP's (IP spoofing)

Then 2 things can happen :
- His machine crashes either by memory shortage or CPU overload .
- His connection overloads and he's forced of the net .
