@tiffintech: A DDoS attack is essentially a coordinated assault on the availability of a network service. It's executed by overwhelming the target - typically a web server - with a flood of internet traffic. This traffic is not legitimate user requests; it's artificially generated and comes from many different sources, making it a "distributed" attack. Think of a server as a door through which your legitimate users need to pass. In a DDoS attack, this door is barraged by a huge crowd (traffic) that doesn't actually want to enter (non-legitimate requests); they just want to block the door so that the genuine users can't get through. From a technical perspective, this attack exploits the limited capacity of a network service. Servers have a finite amount of resources - like bandwidth, memory, and processing power. A DDoS attack saturates these resources. This means that real users' requests can't be processed, leading to service disruption or complete unavailability. #Tech #techexpert #techexplained #coding #softwareengineer
