Permanent denial of service
- Permanent denial of service
Permanent denial of service (PDOS) is the technique of physically damaging a computer from a remote point to render it useless. It was developed by researchers under the supervision of Rich Smith, head of research for offensive technologies & threats at HP Systems Security Lab. The technique exploits firmware weaknesses.
"A PDOS attack damages a system so badly that it requires replacement or reinstallation of hardware. Unlike the infamous distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack -- which is used to sabotage a service or Website or as a cover for malware delivery -- PDOS is pure hardware sabotage."
