WHAT IS DENIAL OF SERVICE

Denial-Of-Service Attack = DOS Attack is a malicious attempt by a single

person or a group of people to cause the victim, site or node to deny service
to it customers.

• DoS = when a single host attacks.

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY GOAL OF A
DOS ATTACK?
• The primary goal of the Denial of Service attack is to deprive the legitimate
targets users of accessibility to their resources or machine.
• In other words, it is an attack targeting the availability of web applications.
DOS ATTACK TYPES

• Non-distributed Denial of Service attack 

• Distributed Denial of Service attack/DDoS

• Based on the DoS attack outcome, there are two types:

• Buffer overflow attacks
• Flood attacks
•Buffer Overflow Attacks- An attack in which the perpetrator sends in more
traffic to the target than the system can handle. It causes a memory buffer
overflow and causes the consumption of all available hard disk space,
memory, or CPU time, which further results in sluggish behavior, crashes, and
ultimately Denial of Service. 

•Flood Attacks- This attack is accomplished by overwhelming the target

server with more packets than the server can handle, resulting in DoS. The
malicious actor must have more bandwidth available than the target server to
complete the attack. 
DENIAL OF SERVICE IN NETWORK
SECURITY 

• DoS attacks can cause the following problems in networks:  

• Ineffective services  
• Inaccessible services  
• Interruption of network traffic  
• Connection interference 
DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK EXAMPLE  

• You visit an e-commerce website to shop for clothing, and your computer
sends a small information packet to the website simply saying ‘hello.’
• This packet basically says to the website, “Hello, I’d like to visit your
website, please let me in.
• ” When the website receives this, it sends back another packet saying, “Okay,
are you real?” Your computer responds by saying, “yes,” and the connection is
established, and now you can explore the website and purchase your clothes. 
DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK PREVENTION 

• Any organization relying on its website to carry out their business must be
aware of DoS attacks and how to prevent them.
• The quicker you can stop the attack, the lesser the damage.
