many such systems starting spring on net offer way combat ever increasing threat against web sites , servers.
i wondered if starting topic on subject may of use community appears me regardless of how secure site "hacking" [file insertion/corruption] significant , imo 1 of important future threats global web community massive robotic dos attacks have incredible potential render using internet commercial or other reasons best not considered concerned investing in net marketing , information reasons.
in sci fiction vision 1 imagine billions of roaming , independent dos viruses plaguing internet freely attacking ever find opportunity.
thus rendering world wide web useless serious utility of use.
the use of cloud based filtering/ firewall systems seems short term solution.
the flooding of system point of collapse not joomla security designed cope with, believe.

one common method of attack involves saturating target machine external communications requests, such cannot respond legitimate traffic, or responds rendered unavailable. such attacks lead server overload. in general terms, dos attacks implemented either forcing targeted computer(s) reset, or consuming resources can no longer provide intended service or obstructing communication media between intended users , victim can no longer communicate adequately.

- is there solution?
how is/will joomla prepare such possibility?
what joomla programmers need allow include increase client use of dns firewall protection systems? [ if ]
i think unless you're running high profile site, you'd unlucky caught in ddos attack. not impossible, likelihood low enough not concern.
from joomla point of view, it's limited, more down server , infrastructure rather cms used.
