A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is characterised by a sudden surge of traffic from multiple sources targeting a single server or network. This overwhelming traffic aims to exhaust system resources, making the service slow or unavailable. At SafeAeon, we often observe that these attacks are distributed, unpredictable, and capable of disrupting operations within minutes.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of attack is a combination of a spoof attack and a DDoS attack?
Smurfing
What characterizes DDoS attack?
Many hosts participate in a coordinated attack.
What floods a computer with requests until it shuts down and refuses to answer any requests for information a Trojan horse ddos attack polymorphic virus or port blocking?
What you are describing is not a type of malware, but a DoS (Denial of Service) attack.
When hackers use zombie computers to launch an attack on another computer or website the attack is know as what?
distributed denial-of-service attack or known as DDoS
What kind of virus floods computers with requests unil it shuts down?
A DDoS attack
Why are botnets so dangerous?
Because they are capable of conducting a very hard to prevent DDoS attack.
What is attack is an assault whose purpose is to disrupt computer access to an Internet service such as the Web or email?
A Denial of Service attack (Abbreviated as DoS).
What does DDoS stand for?
DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service. It’s a type of cyberattack where multiple compromised devices are used together to flood a target system, network, or website with traffic, making it slow or unavailable to real users.
What can a company do to stay away from a DDOS attack?
To stay away from a DDoS attack, a company should implement multiple layers of defense. This includes using network firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems. Regular monitoring of traffic patterns helps identify unusual spikes early. It’s also important to have a DDoS response plan and collaborate with a reliable mitigation service. At SafeAeon, we’ve seen that companies that invest in proactive measures and simulate attack scenarios are better prepared to maintain service availability during such threats.
Is denial of service also called a Nuke attack?
No, a Denial of Service (DoS) attack is not the same as a Nuke attack. A DoS attack overwhelms a system, server, or network with excessive traffic or requests, making it unavailable to legitimate users. A Nuke attack is an older type of exploit from the 1990s where attackers sent corrupt or oversized packets to crash a computer or network service. While both disrupt services, they are technically different forms of attack.
Explain what happen during a Ddos attack?
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack floods a server or network with excessive traffic from multiple sources, causing it to slow down or crash. This disrupts normal access for real users. At SafeAeon, we often see how such attacks can temporarily take services offline and impact business continuity if not addressed quickly.
An attacker sends a large number of requests to a server from several computers that are located at different geographical locations What is the name for this type of attack?
DDoS
