| 2.6 DoS Attacks on Sites though DNS
Typo, "though" instead of "through".
Manipulating the DNS of a popular service can lead to clients sending
requests to a different address, which can also constitute a massive
distributed attack (see Blaster.E, for example). In a sense, this
attack belongs to a class which doesn't seem to be covered by the
document: reflection through client-side redirection. For example,
the attacker rents ad space on a high-volume site (or compromises the
load balancer in front of the ad-server farm), and places a couple of
hyperlinks there to the attacker's site.
