The Diffrence between Ddos and Dos
-------------------------------------
DoS
A DoS Attack is a Denial of Service attack.
This meens that one computer and one internet connection is used to
flood a server with packets (TCP / UDP). The point of such a denial of
service attack is to overload the targeted servers bandwidth and other
resources. This will make the server inaccessible to others and blocking
the website or whatever else is hosted there.
DDoS
A DDoS Attack is a Distributed Denial of Service Attack.
In most respects it is similar to a DoS attack but the results are much
different. Instead of one computer and one internet connection the DDoS
attack utilises many computers and many connections. The computers
behind such an attack are often distributed around the whole world and
will be part of what is known as a botnet. The main difference between a
DDoS attack vs a DoS attack, therefore, is that the target server will
be overload by hundreds or even thousands of requests in the case of the
former as opposed to just one attacker in the case of the latter.
