DDoS

Description An acronym of Distributed Denial of Service. A type of attack on a website or system where the network is flooded with requests to that particular machine. A Denial of Service attack attempts to crash a machine by overloading it, or preventing legitimate traffic getting through to it. A Distributed Denial of Service attack is launched from several computers simultaneously on the one target, hence its distributed nature.
