The first-ever DoS attack occurred in 1974 courtesy of David
Dennis—a 13-year-old student at University High School, located
across the street from the Computer-Based Education Research
Laboratory (CERL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
David learned about a command that could be run on CERL’s
PLATO terminals. PLATO was one of the first computerized shared
learning systems, and a forerunner of many future multi-user
computing systems. Called “external” or “ext,” the command was
meant to allow for interaction with external devices connected to
the terminals. However, when run on a terminal with no external
devices attached the command would cause the terminal to lock
up—requiring a shutdown and power-on to regain functionality.
Curious to see what it would be like for a room full of users to be
locked out at once, David wrote a program that would send the
“ext” command to many PLATO terminals at the same time. He
went over to CERL and tested his program—which succeeded
in forcing all 31 users to power off at once. Eventually the
acceptance of a remote “ext” command was switched off by
default, fixing the problem.
