What is a Denial Of Service Attack?
- A denial of service attack (DOS) is an attack through which a person can render a system unusable or significantly slow down the system for legitimate users by overloading the resources, so that no one can access it.
- If an attacker is unable to gain access to a machine, the attacker most probably will just crash the machine to accomplish a denial of service attack.
