Distributed Denial of Services attack
This is a version of the DoS attack that spread around.
A type of external Internet attack, in which multiple sources attack a single target system, with the goal being denial of service for its users. DDoS attacks flood the target system with incoming messages at a rate much higher than it can process, therefore slowing it down to a level where it is rendered useless to users.
a type of attack which is used to bring down server
Same concept as a Denial of Service Attack but using many systems to attack a single system at the same time, thus greatly increasing the attack. See "DOS (Denial of Service)"
Short for Distributed Denial of Service Attack, the most common form of attack on network devices. It overwhelms a network by monopolizing its bandwidth by flooding it with information from multiple hosts, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system.
See Distributed Denial of Service.
A program by this specification is used in a "community network" setting by a controlling program in an effort to initiate an attack known as a "denial of service". DDOS programs receive instruction from a controller program in order to carry out an attack - the attack itself is designed to disable or shutdown the target of the attack.
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) - Ein solches Programm wird in einem öffentlichen Netzwerk eingesetzt, um eine "Denial of Service"-Angriff zu starten. DDoS-Programme erhalten Anweisungen von einem Steuerprogramm, um den gewünschten Angriff auszuführen - Ziel des Angriffs ist, den Server bzw. Service herunterzufahren oder auszuschalten.
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one that pits many machines against a single victim. An example is the attacks of February 2000 against some of the biggest websites. Even though these websites have a theoretical bandwidth of a gigabit/second, distributing many agents throughout the Internet flooding them with traffic can bring them down. The Internet is defenseless against these attacks. The best defense is for users everywhere to run PestPatrol, and remove DDoS clients when they are found, so that their machines are not used as attack tools. Another approach is for ISPs to do ""egress filtering"": prevent packets from going outbound that do not originate from IP addresses assigned to the ISP. This cuts down on the problem of spoofed IP addresses.
