Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks aim to disrupt a network or service's availability. Common types include volumetric attacks, overwhelming bandwidth; protocol attacks, exploiting weaknesses in network protocols; and application layer attacks, targeting specific applications.
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) involves multiple compromised devices, amplifying impact. Reflective attacks manipulate third-party systems to amplify traffic. Hybrid attacks combine various methods. Mitigation involves robust security measures, traffic filtering, and detection mechanisms to safeguard against these disruptive threats.
