Demystifying DDoS Attacks
In the realm of cybersecurity, DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service, used to be a straightforward flood attack aimed at overwhelming a connection with traffic, ultimately taking the targeted property offline.It was a simple approach that mostly focused on availability.
Back in 2000 when Arbor Networks initially confronted DDoS attacks, "flood" attacks were in the range of 400Mbps. Fast forward to today, and these attacks can reach well over 100Gbps. But it's not just the sheer size of the attacks that has evolved.
Around 2010, catalyzed in part by groups like Anonymous and the emergence of hacktivism, we witnessed a resurgence in DDoS attacks. This comeback sparked innovation in the fields of tools, targets, and methods used to interfere with the victim's services.Servermo's Reliable 4TBPS DDoS Mitigation: Your Safeguard for Servers, IP Transit, Colocation, VPS, and Web Hosting
