About Lesson

A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is like a traffic jam on the internet highway. Imagine someone sending a flood of fake requests to a website, overwhelming it with so much traffic that it can’t handle legitimate users anymore. It’s like too many cars trying to use a single road at once, causing gridlock. This attack makes the website unavailable to its intended users, causing frustration and inconvenience. DoS attacks can disrupt online services, like websites or networks, making them slow or completely inaccessible. It’s like a cyber-traffic jam deliberately created to block access to a digital destination.
