Great start!

May I suggest either substituting miscreant for Evildoer, or at least redirecting? While my personal preference would not be miscreant, I can't use my preference and stay family-friendly.

Nevertheless, when I was involved with a major industry project, with ISP and law enforcement involvement, we struggled to come up with a term that was "courtroom-safe", and the consensus seemed to be miscreant — a sufficiently obscure word that it tends not to have preconceptions.

Did you notice resource attack? There's some overlap.

Port scanning isn't exactly DOS, but I mention it in the context of network reconnaissance.

I can, if need be, do an article on (D)DoS detection and response on the network side; I have to remember now if I've already discussed some of the techniques such as uRPF, sinkholes, ingress filtering, backscatter, the different uses of NetFlow and SNMP, etc. Howard C.
