I think you got that the wrong way round. It is still the hacker that
did the DoS attack, just in a more indirect way. The hacker poses a
threat, which is answered by the firewall, which reduces the service.
(This whole firewall idea is just a plot by a group of wiley hackers
who want to deprive you of your mosaic. ;-)
