DDoS attacks: Attack and defense
News headlines today are full of reports of DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service). Distributed denial of service attacks are subject to any organizations present on the Internet. The question is not whether you will be attacked or not, but when it will happen. Government agencies, media and e-commerce websites, websites of companies, commercial and non-profit organizations are all potential targets of DDoS attacks.
DoS attack
A hacker attack on a computer system in order to bring it to failure, that is, the creation of such conditions under which bona fide users of the system will not be able to access the system resources provided, or this access will be difficult. The failure of the "enemy" system can also be a step towards mastering the system. But more often it is a measure of economic pressure: the loss of a simple service that generates income, bills from the provider and measures to avoid an attack significantly hit the pocket of the "target". Currently, DoS and DDoS attacks are the most popular, as they allow you to bring almost any poorly written system to failure without leaving legally significant evidence.
