DDoS Attack
DDoS stands for Distributed Denial Of Services. The DDoS attack is an attempt by a person or a group of people to make a victim site or node to deny service to its intended users. When an attack is performed from multiple sources to one victim destination it’s called a DDoS. This attack is more powerful than DoS attack. In ethical hacking, a DDoS attack is often called stress testing. For know more about this attack, click here.
