no - they just are less likely to respond than a more modernized country/ISP.

I don't see how you could do this in realtime, unless it was only a single attacker. If a DDoS hit you it would take a long time to analyze the logs and determine what sequence the attack was working on.
that's exactly what i said. DOS is a single source attack. DDoS is multiple source. A DoS would be possible to cut off, a DDoS would be impossible

Well, I know a forums that is getting DDoSed (still going and it's been 2 weeks). The problem is, we think the attacker lives in either China or Russia...

actually, i think that is precisely what is meant by impossible. If you mean "difficult for some n>=N, s.t. N is not worth doing" then yea, != applies ;P
