Understanding Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks #
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 it with a flood of illegitimate Internet traffic generated by multiple compromised devices (botnets).
Common Types of DDoS Attacks: #
- Volumetric Attacks: Floods server network bandwidth with massive volumes of traffic (e.g., UDP floods, ICMP floods).
- Protocol Attacks: Consumes server processing resources and state tables (e.g., SYN Floods, Smurf DDoS).
- Application Layer Attacks (Layer 7): Simulates legitimate user traffic aimed at CPU-intensive web endpoints (e.g., HTTP GET/POST floods against search forms or WordPress login portals).
