Setting up this on a home broadband machince is unwise as it probably break the AUP of your ISP and would only take a complaint from the target who would know your IP to have you loose access. Also they could retaliate in kind. Also unless co-ordinated unlikely to have any effect.

Denial of service attacks are crude, and degrade level of service for internet as a whole.

It is felt that DOS attacks are counter productive as debated in threads on indymedia before.

Indymedia itself has been victim of a DOS attack in the past.
