A type of attack that aims to prevent or limit the availability of a service or resource.

A DoS attack that overloads the target's network connection with excessive traffic.

A DoS attack that exhausts the target's system resources, like CPU, memory, or disk space.

A type of DoS attack where multiple computers, often controlled by an attacker, work together to send excessive traffic to a target.

This attack focuses on consuming network bandwidth by exploiting vulnerabilities in network protocols or services.

This attack uses legitimate servers to reflect or amplify malicious traffic towards the target, making it hard to trace.

These are strategies used to mitigate or prevent DoS attacks, like filtering malicious traffic, using firewalls, and improving network capacity.

A type of attack that overwhelms a network server with a large volume of packets, typically targeting the server's ability to manage TCP connections.

Attacks that overwhelm network resources by flooding the server with excessive traffic.

A flooding attack that targets the network server's ability to manage and respond to TCP connection requests.

Flooding attacks can target various network protocols. They aim to overload network capacity, making it difficult for legitimate data to reach the server.

Flooding attacks can overwhelm a server's resources, causing it to struggle to handle and respond to legitimate traffic.

In a flooding attack, congestion in routers on the path to the targeted server can cause many packets to be dropped, hindering legitimate traffic.

The intent of flooding attacks is usually to disrupt service by overwhelming network resources or the server itself.

In a flooding attack, the source addresses of packets are often randomly selected, making it difficult to identify the attacker.

Flooding attacks can cause delays and packet loss, making it difficult for legitimate users to communicate with the targeted server.

A type of attack that overwhelms a server with requests, making it unable to respond to legitimate users.

A DoS attack launched from multiple compromised systems, often controlled by a botnet.

Compromised systems controlled by an attacker, often used in DDoS attacks.

A network of compromised systems under the control of a single attacker, used for various malicious activities.

A DDoS attack technique that targets a specific application layer protocol, often used to disrupt VoIP services.

An attack where an attacker sends a large number of ICMP packets to a target, overwhelming it.

An attack where an attacker sends a large number of UDP packets to a target, often overwhelming it.

An attack where an attacker sends a large number of TCP SYN packets to a target, consuming its resources and halting legitimate connections.

The best way to avoid becoming a zombie in a DDoS attack is to maintain good security practices and keep your systems updated.

A type of attack where an attacker sends a packet with a spoofed source address to an intermediary, causing the intermediary to send a response to the intended target, amplifying the attack volume.

A type of attack where an attacker establishes a loop between an intermediary and the intended target, sending packets back and forth.

A specific type of reflector attack that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to amplify traffic.

A common defense for amplification and reflection attacks. It prevents directed broadcasts from entering a network from external sources.

A service commonly used in reflection and amplification attacks.

A type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack that overwhelms a web server by sending a continuous stream of HTTP requests that never fully complete.

A variation of the Slowloris attack where bots start from a given webpage and follow all subsequent links, causing an extensive load on the server.

A type of Reflector/Amplifier attack where an attacker sends packets to a service with a spoofed source address of the target system, causing the service to reply to the target with amplified traffic.

The intermediary system that is used to reflect the amplified traffic back towards the target in a Reflector/Amplifier attack.

A service that creates a larger response packet than the original request, amplifying the impact of the attack.

The process of the attacker sending network packets with a fabricated source address to a service.

A server that responds to a spoofed network packet, effectively redirecting the amplified traffic towards the target.

The target of the attack, which is overwhelmed by the amplified traffic.

The process of an attacker sending numerous requests to multiple servers, all with the same spoofed source address, creating an amplified flood of responses.
