The most common and potent form of this threat is the attack. In this scenario, the attacker does not use a single computer. Instead, they leverage a "botnet"—a network of hijacked devices (computers, IoT cameras, or servers) infected with malware.

These are "logic" attacks. Rather than using brute force, the attacker sends a few carefully crafted packets designed to exploit a bug in the target’s operating system or software. This can cause the system to crash, reboot, or consume 100% of its CPU power on a single task, effectively freezing the service. 2. From DoS to DDoS: The Power of Distribution Denial_of_Service.rar

Denial-of-Service attacks generally fall into two categories: flood attacks and vulnerability exploits. The most common and potent form of this threat is the attack

Capping the number of requests a server will accept from a single IP address. These are "logic" attacks

These occur when a system receives too much traffic for it to buffer or process. The attacker sends a massive volume of packets—TCP, UDP, or ICMP—to the target's network interface. Like a physical storefront being crowded by people who have no intention of buying anything, legitimate customers are pushed out by the sheer volume of the crowd.
