What is Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack?

  1. What is Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack? https://mightypccleaner.com/what-is-distributed-denial-of-service-attack/

  2. How does DDoS attack works? ● Internet-connected devices generally perform a Distributed Denial-of-Services (DDoS) attacks. ● The main system which is in direct control to the attacker, find some more vulnerable devices and gain control over them by anyhow hacking it or guessing its passwords. ● The target server or network makes any request, in the botnet, each bot sends a request to the IP address of the target. ● The system slows down or crashes and shut down.

  3. Different types of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks ● This attack uses a huge amount of traffic to flood the resource such as the server or website. This attack generally includes ICMU, UDP, and packet flood attacks. ● Domain name system amplification attack is an example of this type of attack which uses the target’s IP address to send the DNS request. ● This attack sends a very high number of packets to the target network infrastructure. ● This attack target the transport layer protocol using flaws in those protocols so that the server could get flooded and the request is not completed.

  4. How to identify DDoS attacks? Availability issue is generally the cause behind a Distributed Denial-of-Services (DDoS) attack. If over a short period, one or several specific IP addresses make some consecutive requests again and again. If you are attempting a test on a server using a pinging service and it times out. A normal functioning server’s bandwidth always remains even so if you see strong and consistent spikes in bandwidth, do consider. If logs show an unusual sequence of traffic spikes at an unusual time. ● ● ● ● ●

  5. How to prevent Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks? Get yourself enrolled into a DoS protection service that can detect the abnormal flow of traffic and could redirect that traffic away from you if needed. Create a backup plan for successful communication, mitigation, and recovery in case if you are attacked by the DoS attackers. Always keep an updated antivirus installed in your system to protect yourself from computer scam. You can install Firewall and configure it accordingly so that it can restrict all the traffic coming to you as well as leaving your system. ● ● ● ●
