What is a DDoS Attack?
A DDoS attack involves a network of compromised devices (a botnet) flooding a target with traffic, making it unable to respond to legitimate users. The goal? Denial of service, which causes downtime and loss of access to critical online services.
Types of DDoS Attack

- Protocol-Based Attacks: Targets server protocols to consume resources.
- Application Layer Attacks: Overloads specific apps or services by simulating legitimate traffic.
The Impact of DDoS Attacks
