A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is an attempt by an attacker to disrupt the normal functioning of a network, system, or service by overwhelming it with excessive traffic or resource requests, causing it to become unavailable.
• Used by attackers to take down websites or online services by flooding them with traffic, making them inaccessible to legitimate users.• Employed in competitive or retaliatory attacks to disrupt business operations.
A DoS attack is launched from a single source, while a DDoS attack involves multiple sources (often using botnets) to overwhelm the target.
Organizations can protect against DoS attacks by using firewalls, traffic filtering, and rate-limiting techniques to control the flow of incoming traffic.
A successful DoS attack can lead to downtime, loss of revenue, and damage to the target's reputation due to service unavailability.
