Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attack
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is the type of cyber-attack that intends to shut down the concerned network or machine and thus halts its normal operations. This is normally done either by flooding the network with unusual traffic or by sending such information that triggers crash events. The common type of flood attacks includes Buffer overflow attacks, ICMP flood, and SYN flood. Besides that, there is another type of DoS attack, known as Distributed Denial of Services attack, where multiple systems arrange a synchronized DoS attack to the concerned server or network. Since these attacks are triggered from multiple locations rather than a single one, so it is quite difficult to track them. Nevertheless, the purpose of a DoS attack is rather senseless but quite collateral from the business perspective. The cyber threat via DoS attack aims to deprive legitimate users from accessing resources or services that they expect to access.
These types of attacks usually attack web servers of high-profile organizations, such as government entities, the banking sector, and web streaming services. The purpose is to undermine their corporate identity in such a way where their customers start to move away. So rather than spying or stealing the data, such cyber threats cause business loss.
