A Denial of Service (DoS) Attack is a malicious cyber attack that aims to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted computer system, network, or website. The attacker floods the target system with an overwhelming amount of traffic or requests, making it unable to handle legitimate traffic or requests from users.
In this video, we'll explore the various types of DoS attacks, including ping flood, SYN flood, and UDP flood, and learn how they can be executed using readily available tools and techniques. We'll also examine the impact of a successful DoS attack, which can include temporary or permanent system shutdown, loss of data, and reputational damage.
Moreover, we'll discuss how to protect against DoS attacks, including strategies such as traffic filtering, network segmentation, and using content delivery networks (CDNs) to distribute traffic. We'll also examine how organizations can develop an incident response plan and mitigate the effects of a DoS attack.
This video aims to provide an educational overview of the risks and consequences associated with a Denial of Service (DoS) Attack, and how to protect against such attacks. It's essential to use technology responsibly and to understand the potential impact of cyber attacks on individuals and organizations.
