DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) has made another huge step forward in DOS development, this Distributed Denial-of-Service attack allows hackers to use different high-bandwidth hosts (hundreds or even thousands of hosts) that have been intruded and controlled) install a large number of DOS service programs on them, waiting for commands from the central attack Control Center. The central attack Control Center then promptly starts the DOS service processes of all controlled hosts so that they can send as many network access requests as possible to a specific target to form a DOS flood impacting the target system, attackers use DOS to attack the same website. The target website that is attacked will soon lose response and cannot handle normal access in time, or even crash the system.
