Hash flooding is only one of many ways to DoS a server. You can try other things, like building a bot net and trying to flood the connection.

Sure, but that's another step up in difficulty from using a single client to DoS a server trivially.

I should also add: Whatever DDoS protections your ISP may (or may not) have in place does nothing to protect you if your host has a DoS vulnerability which is exploitable with a single connection.
