A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack occurs when multiple systems flood a targeted server, website, or network with excessive traffic, causing it to slow down or crash. This disrupts access for legitimate users and can halt business operations. To avoid such attacks, it’s important to use firewalls, intrusion detection systems, rate limiting, and cloud-based DDoS protection services. At SafeAeon, we’ve seen how proactive monitoring and a solid incident response plan help reduce the impact of these threats significantly.

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
What does DDoS stand for?
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.
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 are some of the benefits of ddos protection?
DDoS attacks can harm one's website in multiple ways. The DDoS protection system is able to act as an anti virus system for a website. It will protect one's business and data. It can recognize all data and files that can harm one's website.
Where could one find out how to do DDoS?
Performing a Distributed Denial of Service attack is likely to be illegal in one's jurisdiction. To perform such an attack, one would need access to a large number of computers across a wide physical area. More information on such can be found on hacking websites and forums.
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.
