Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are attempts to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. These attacks are generally concerted efforts of a hacker or a group of hackers to prevent an internet site or service from functioning effectively or at all, sometimes temporarily and in some severe instances, indefinitely.

Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks occur when multiple compromised systems are used to target a single system causing a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. Victims of DDoS attacks include the end targeted system as well as systems in the network path and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker (or hackers) in the distributed attacks. When successful, DDoS attacks result in service downtime and great losses including short-term financial losses, long-term reputational losses and even permanent business disability, especially for businesses with core revenue generating functions.

Perpetrators of these attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, government owned services and even root name servers.
