WHAT IS A DDOS ATTACK?
This is an overload of the server that hosts websites or services, causing access to be denied to anyone trying to access it at the time of the attack.
Malicious hackers use botnets to make the service crash or go down.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are several ways to carry out a denial of service, the most common being when a very large volume of traffic is sent with the intention of congesting a system’s bandwidth.
It works as if many users clicked at the same time to access the same site. This volume makes access slow or even unavailable.
EX:
Let’s make a comparison with an establishment that is offering incredible discounts on one day determined. It doesn’t have a very large structure, the space to move around is limited, there are few cashiers and employees.
If all the customers came at the same time, even if the staff was super-competent, the establishment would be overloaded and the quality of service would drop.
This is what happens, but in an artificial, criminal and virtual way in Ddos.
