A Denial-of-Service attack is a cyber-attack that seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable by flooding it with superfluous requests, preventing legitimate requests from being fulfilled. DDoS attacks originate from multiple sources and require more sophisticated strategies to mitigate. DoS attacks are often motivated by revenge, blackmail, or hacktivism.
