Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -"Denial of service” or “DoS” describes the ultimate goal of a class of cyber attacks designed to render a service inaccessible. The DoS attacks that most people have heard about are those launched against high profile websites, since these are frequently reported by the media.
Detailed explanation-3: -Attackers achieve this by sending more traffic than the target can handle, causing it to fail-making it unable to provide service to its normal users. Examples of targets might include email, online banking, websites, or any other service relying on a targeted network or computer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Threats can be classified into four different categories; direct, indirect, veiled, conditional.
