Denial of Service (called also DoS) is a type of attack which is used 
not to gain acces to machine, but to corrupt it's work (hang, roboot etc)

Examples: land, teardrop, boink, winnuke, latierra (modified latierra),
nestea, ping of death, smurf and many many more..

You can even use the fork() function to cause simply DoS attack
