Detailed explanation-1: -20 seconds. Extortionist, exfiltrators, hacktivist and competitors are the person behind the DoS attack. Which of the following defined hacktivist? They menace to inactive the web service and then ask for the ransom money to put a stop to an attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two general methods of DoS attacks: flooding services or crashing services. Flood attacks occur when the system receives too much traffic for the server to buffer, causing them to slow down and eventually stop. Popular flood attacks include: Buffer overflow attacks – the most common DoS attack.
Detailed explanation-3: -A DoS attack is a denial of service attack where a computer is used to flood a server with TCP and UDP packets. A DDoS attack is where multiple systems target a single system with a DoS attack. The targeted network is then bombarded with packets from multiple locations. All DDoS = DoS but not all DoS = DDoS.
Detailed explanation-4: -The only difference between them is their scale. Single DoS attacks come from one source, while DDoS (distributed) attacks come from multiple locations, often spoofed. Whether a DoS or DDoS attack, the attacker uses one or more computers.
Detailed explanation-5: -A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is a cyberattack on devices, information systems, or other network resources that prevents legitimate users from accessing expected services and resources. 1 This is usually accomplished by flooding the targeted host or network with traffic until the target can’t respond or crashes.
