A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a type of cyber attack that involves overwhelming a targeted system or network with a flood of traffic from multiple sources, making the system or network unavailable to legitimate users. DDoS attacks can be launched using a variety of techniques and are often used by hackers to disrupt the operations of businesses, governments, and other organizations.
DDoS attacks typically involve the use of botnets, which are networks of compromised devices that can be controlled by the attacker to send a high volume of traffic to the target system or network. These botnets can be composed of devices such as computers, routers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices that have been infected with malware or have default passwords that are easily guessed by the attacker.
There are several types of DDoS attacks, including:
Preventing DDoS attacks requires a multi-layered approach that includes both technical and human-focused measures. Some strategies that can help defend against DDoS attacks include:
DDoS attacks are a serious threat to the availability of systems and networks, and defending against them requires a comprehensive and proactive approach to security. By implementing best practices for network security and staying informed about the latest threats and vulnerabilities, organizations can better protect themselves from these advanced attacks.
