DDoSattack
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. DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness through the use of multiple compromised computer systems, often referred to as a botnet, which are used to launch the attack. These compromised systems are directed by an attacker to inundate the target with connection requests and garbage data. The sheer volume of these requests can overwhelm the target's resources, making it unavailable to legitimate users.
There are several types of DDoS attacks, including volumetric attacks that aim to consume all available bandwidth,
