Hey
Techknow Addicts,
What is DOS Attack?
-
DOS Attack means Denial Of Service Attack in this attack attacker sends tons of
legitimate data requests to a Web Server and due to the flooding of data
request the website will slow down and also in some cases it
may crash due to the less Bandwidth of the server.
How many Devices are used for
DOS Attack?
-
In this attack only one
device and internet connection is used by the attacker.
- This attack does not only used on web servers it is also used
for many other things like Wifi Jamming, ICMP Flood attack ,RUDY Attack.
Who performs DOS Attack?
-
Both Black and
White Hat Hacker performs this attack.
-
Black Hat Hacker do it for
money and also they do it for taking revenge by performing this attack to
their enemy and for other profit.
-
White Hat Hacker also performs this
attack but obviously in ethical way they perform this for testing the
capacity and bandwidth of the server of the company with their permission.
What is DDOS Attack?
- DDOS Attack means Distributed Denial Of
Service Attack in this attack attacker sends tons of legitimate data
requests to a Web Server but not only with one device this attack is done
with many devices attacker uses botnets for performing this attack.
Botnets are the devices already hacked by the attacker by malware or in
any other way. This botnets can be anywhere in the world. So attackers
does the same thing which was done in DOS attack but this time there will
be more devices.
Why to perform DDOS Attack?
- DDOS Attack is performed just because of the more capability
of servers and though there will be no effect of DOS attack .
Example of DDOS Attack.
- You have ever notice while visiting your university’s result
website on the day of declaration of result it will slow down or may crash
in some cases just because the bandwidth of the server is low.
