🔆 Denial-of-Service (DoS) and DDoS Attack 📍 Context: ✅ Elon Musk's interview with Donald Trump on X was delayed due to a major DDoS attack. 📍 What is a DDoS Attack? ✅ A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to overwhelm a targeted server, service, or network with flooded Internet traffic. ✅ The goal is to disrupt normal operations and create service outages, making systems inaccessible to users. 📍 How Does a DDoS Attack Work? ✅ Attackers use botnets (infected Internet-connected devices) controlled remotely to send 大量 requests to the target server. ✅ Each bot sends requests to the target's IP address, overwhelming it and denying service to legitimate traffic. 📍 Challenges in Detection: ✅ Separating attack traffic from legitimate traffic is difficult, as bots appear as normal Internet devices. #security
