DoS attacks?

Hello Wikitech,

I am curious about the degree (if any) to which Wikimedia experiences
DoS attacks on its servers. Mainly I'm curious about:

(a) whether attacks happen; and

(b) the character of the attacks themselves (application-level? SYN
flood? ICMP flood?).

Is this mailing list the correct forum in which to ask this question? If
not, should I email noc [at] wikimedia? I am a graduate student doing
research on DoS attacks and would be extremely grateful for any
information or help.

Many thanks in advance.

-Mike Walfish
