Timing of DoS and Intrusion attempts.

I am trying to get a profile of a typical DoS and intrusion attempt, and would like input on the times which these attacks occur. Invariably they will follow Murphy's Law, being when the administrators are gone home for the night, or stuck in an elevator, and I understand that the Internet is a 24/7 Superstore, but there must be some correlation to the timing of these attacks. Assuming we can find some form of correlation between the time of the attack on both the target computer and the source computer, the possible damage (A DoS attack is not as effective when your target audience is asleep), and the type of attack, it may make it easier to guess where the attacker originated from, if they are relaying through a server somewhere else, etc... Any thoughts on this? Patrick Andry pandry () wolverinefreight ca
