Difference between DoS and DDoS
Most of people are confused between DoS and DDoS. There is a difference which is explained below:
DoS Attack:
- DoS stands for Denial of Service.
- During a DoS attack, someone starts flooding a server with ping packets (TCP / UDP).
- The Objective of this attack is to ‘overload’ the servers bandwidth and other resources, This will make the server inaccessible to others, thereby blocking the website or whatever else is hosted there.
DDoS Attack:
- DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service.
- It is pretty much the same as DoS, except there are multiple systems performing the attack.
- As Its name suggests the DDoS attack is executed using a distributed computing method often referred to as a “botnet armyâ€. The creation process of which involves infecting computers with a form of malware that gives the botnet owner access to the computer somewhat. This could be anything from simply using the computers connection to flood to total control of the computer. These attacks affect the victims computer server more than a regular DoS because multiple connections are being used against one connection
