Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is another type of DoS attack. These attacks involve numerous systems coordinating a synchronised DoS attack on a single target. The key difference is that the target is attacked from numerous directions simultaneously rather than from a single entity.

DDoS attackers frequently employ a , a collection of hijacked devices connected online, to launch large-scale attacks. Attackers use command and control software to exploit security flaws or hardware weaknesses to control many devices.
