A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic.
DDoS attacks work by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. These systems are often infected with malware and controlled remotely by the attacker.
There are several reasons why DDoS attacks are increasing in frequency and severity. One contributing factor is the growing number of Internet-connected devices, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), that can be exploited by attackers.
Some common types of DDoS attacks include volumetric attacks, application-layer attacks, and protocol attacks. Each type of attack targets different layers of the network infrastructure.
Companies can defend against DDoS attacks by implementing robust security measures such as behavioral analysis, rate limiting, and traffic filtering. It is also important to have a response plan in place in case of an attack.
Launching a DDoS attack is illegal in many countries and can result in severe penalties, including fines and jail time. In addition to criminal charges, attackers may also face civil lawsuits from affected parties.
