QuestionQ41

Network Security

A DoS attack is a volume-based attack intended to prevent a target computer or network from delivering normal services or access to resources, causing the target system to become unresponsive or even crash.

Explanation

A denial-of-service attack seeks to disrupt availability by exhausting or overwhelming a target’s bandwidth, processing capacity, or other resources, preventing legitimate users from accessing normal services. Volume-based attacks specifically use large traffic volumes to produce that disruption.
