DoS & DDoS attacks
Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are malicious attempts to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of traffic. In a DoS attack, a single source is used to flood the target, while DDoS attacks involve multiple sources, making them harder to mitigate. The aim is to render the targeted system or network unavailable, causing service outages, financial losses, and reputational damage. Countermeasures include network security protocols, firewalls, and traffic filtering systems.
