Question 1: What you understand about Denial of services (DOS) attacks?
Answer:
In this type of attack, the attacker gains access to the network and then send invalid data to network services or applications. These services or applications consequently become unable to perform their normal tasks or functions. Hence, sending a flood of data to a particular service or computer can cause it to overload or shutdown. This attack is specially used to take down websites on the internet, when repeated requests for web pages are deliberately initiated so as to choke down a web server.
