 A DDoS attack (Distributed Denial-of-Service attack) is a type of cyberattack where multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, such as a web server, making it slow, unreliable, or completely unavailable to legitimate users. Here's how it works: Botnets : The attacker uses a network of compromised computers (called a botnet ) to send massive amounts of traffic or requests to a target. Overwhelming the target : The goal is to exhaust the target’s resources (CPU, memory, bandwidth), so it can't respond to normal traffic. Distributed : Since the attack comes from many different sources (often globally distributed), it's harder to block than a single-source attack. Common Types of DDoS Attacks: Volume-based attacks (e.g., UDP floods, ICMP floods): Saturate bandwidth. Protocol attacks (e.g., SYN floods): Exploit server resources or intermediate communication devices like firewalls. Application layer attacks (e.g., HTTP flo...
