A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the availability of a network service or website by overwhelming it with a flood of traffic. Perpetrators use a network of compromised devices, often called a botnet, to send an enormous volume of requests to a target server, rendering it unable to respond to legitimate users.

DDoS attacks come in various forms, including UDP flood, SYN flood, and HTTP flood attacks. The attacker's goal is to exhaust the target's resources, such as bandwidth, CPU, or memory, causing downtime and financial losses.

Mitigating DDoS attacks involves deploying security measures like traffic filtering, rate limiting, and load balancing. Content delivery networks (CDNs) can also help distribute and absorb traffic, reducing the impact of an attack.

DDoS attacks can disrupt online services, leading to financial and reputational damage, making it crucial for organizations to invest in robust cybersecurity defenses to detect and mitigate these threats effectively.
