Detailed explanation-1: -Indicators of a DoS attack include: Atypically slow network performance such as long load times for files or websites. The inability to load a particular website such as your web property. A sudden loss of connectivity across devices on the same network.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is an attack meant to shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to its intended users. DoS attacks accomplish this by flooding the target with traffic, or sending it information that triggers a crash.
Detailed explanation-3: -A slow read DDoS attack involves an attacker sending an appropriate HTTP request to a server, but then reading the response at a very slow speed, if at all. By reading the response slowly – sometimes as slow as one byte at a time – the attacker prevents the server from incurring an idle connection timeout.
