Denial of Service Attacks | Microschool Dev

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are malicious attempts to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. The goal is to make the target resource unavailable to its intended users. These attacks can range from simple floods of connection requests to more sophisticated methods that exploit specific vulnerabilities in network protocols or applications. The impact can be severe, leading to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and operational downtime for businesses and organizations.
