摘要：A denial of service attack (Dos) or distributed denial of service attack (DDos) is an attack to makecomputer resource unavailable to its intended users. Perpetrators of Dos attacks target sites or services hosted on highprofileservers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and root name servers and also to CPU resourcemanagement. The Dos attacks either crash or flood the services. The attack involves saturating the target machine withexternal communication requests which cannot respond to legitimate traffic or responds slowly to rendered asunavailable. In this paper we discuss about the types of Dos attacks, its drawbacks and the preventing measures
