Attack: denial of service, SYN floods and amplification

لم يُترجم بعد؛ يُعرض باللغة الإنجليزية

A denial-of-service attack steals nothing. It uses up a server's limited resources so real visitors are turned away. Watch forged SYNs fill a server's half-open backlog, a botnet overflow its link, and small forged DNS queries come back as answers 50 times bigger. The lesson explains how each attack works, then points to the defences that stop it.
