Closer to a shopping mall. Attackers take advantage of this in such a way that they send hundreds or thousands of times more traffic to their target than it normally serves resulting in jams i.e. paralysis. called flood attack in English which describes the situation very nicely. The irony is that in most cases all servers are functioning perfectly normally but due to the paralysis of the data paths legitimate traffic cannot reach them. Network protocol attack Pps Network Protocol Email Marketing List DDoS Attackers can also achieve their goal of paralysis by abusing the rules or protocols for communication between devices. Information is sent between devices in packets that must conform to these protocols. Criminals design their attack by creating packets of information that while compliant with protocols for communication between devices overload network devices due to their characteristics. Namely network devices have a limit on how many packets per second Pps they can process. By their actions the attackers reach and exceed the maximum capacity of these devices thus jamming the intersection. A real-world analogy would be protesters marching continuously across the crosswalk thus abusing the rules and stopping traffic. How can we defend against a DDoS attack First we need to define what it means to successfully defend against a DSO attack. We want the service to work for all users who.
