INTRODUCTION
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a type of
cyber attack in which the attacker attempts to
make a network or website unavailable to its
intended users.
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is
a variant of a DoS attack in which the traffic or
requests come from multiple sources, making it
more difficult to block or mitigate the attack.
How does DOS and
DDOS Attacks?
DOS and DDOS attack
happens when the attacker
themselves gain control of
the internet in the computer
that they are using. Once the
attacker has control over the
botnet, they can directly
send malicious traffic or
software to the target server or
network.
DIFFERENCE

distinguish the attacker.
EFFECTS
of DOS and DDOS Attacks?
Both DOS and DDOS attacks
can cause target devices to
unreachable , slowed down or
system crash completely
DDOS effects can be more
severe than a DOS attack due
to malicious traffic that being
sent to the targets.
IMPACTS
Buffer overflow attacks
The attacker overload a network address with traffic so that it is put out of use.
ICMP flood
An ICMP flood attack is used to take unconfigured or misconfigured network devices and uses
them to send spoof packets to ping every computer within the target network.
SYN flood
SYN flood attacks send requests to connect to a server but don’t complete the handshake. This attack is
preventing anyone from connecting to the network when the network becomes inundated with connection
requests.
Teardrop Attack
An attacker sends IP data packet fragments to a network that will attempt to recompile these fragments into their
original packets. The recompiling process will exhaust the system until it ends up crashing. It crashes because the
fields are designed to confuse the system so that it can not put them back together.
SOLUTION
To protect against DDoS attacks, businesses and individual website owners
can use specialized services. Some of the best solutions are listed below. :
• Cloudflare
• Incapsula
• Akamai
• AWS Shield
• BeeThink Anti-DDoS Guardian
• Sucuri
• Cloudbric
• Alibaba
• F5
• Radware DefensePro
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, DoS and DDoS are malicious attempts to make
a network or website unavailable to its intended users. These
attacks can have a significant impact on the availability and
functionality of targeted systems and can result in significant
financial losses and reputational damage. It is important to
take steps to protect against these types of attacks, such as
implementing firewalls, intrusion detection systems and
intrusion prevention systems, as well as using services such
as cloud-based DDoS protection. It is highly recommended to
stay informed and updated with the latest trends and best
practices to effectively defend against these types of attacks.
