Its not a DoS, its just a browser crash
so forcing a browser to crash is not 'Denial of Service'? I think your confused with DDoS
DDoS is a Distributed Denial of Service attack where a server is attacked via multiple computers (like a bot net) at the same time AFAIK
no shit. so if you drop the 'Distributed' you get 'Denial of Service'. DoS is rather general, code that keeps crashing your browser on purpose is denying you the service it provides (viewing webpages). rather like someone running off with your girlfriend ... you get denied service.
