A DDoS attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt legitimate traffic to a server by overwhelming the target with a flood of requests from geographically dispersed systems. Now, let's first understand how a denial-of-service (DoS) attack works. During DoS attacks, the attackers bombard the target machine with a massive amount of requests that lead to the exhaustion of server resources and, as a result, it fails requests from legitimate users. In a DoS attack, a threat actor uses a single machine to exhaust the target server; however, a DDoS attack is much more powerful as millions of machines can be used to exhaust a target server.
