A DoS (Denial of Service) attack is a cyberattack in which multiple compromised devices (often called a botnet) flood a target server, website, or network with traffic, making it slow or completely unavailable to legitimate users.
- Common Types of DDoS Attacks :
- Protocol Attacks – Exploit weaknesses in network protocols.
- Volumetric Attacks – Overwhelm bandwidth with huge amounts of traffic.
- Application-Layer Attacks – Target specific applications or web services (e.g., HTTP request floods).
Performing denial-of-service attacks against systems without explicit authorization is illegal in many jurisdictions and may result in civil or criminal penalties.
