Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is a type of cyber attack in which multiple computers or machines are used to flood a system or network with a large number of fake requests or traffic, resulting in the system becoming overwhelmed and unable to function properly. This is different from a DoS (Denial of Service) attack, which involves a single computer or machine flooding a system with fake requests. SYN flood attacks are a specific type of DDoS attack that exploit vulnerabilities in the TCP/IP protocol stack to overload a target system with connection requests. Replay attacks involve intercepting and re-transmitting data in an attempt to gain unauthorized access to a system.
