DoS Attack - How a 'denial of service' attack works

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a type of attack on a network, carried out by flooding it with useless traffic, disabling network services, web sites, e-mail, making unavailable or causing temporary loss of all network connectivity and services. Though, a denial-of-service attack has more an ideological or political aspect, than stealing of information, current Internet experts warn that such types of attacks are increasing, putting at risk the online services, as well as data safety of many companies, businesses and even governments. Learn more about DoS attack, its methods, types and preventive mechanisms in this book.
