http://pixvid.me/ANTypesofDDoS In the modern cyber world, businesses large and small, e-commerce sites, and government entities are all highly vulnerable to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Downtime, lost revenue, and brand damage are all byproducts of a DDoS attack, making these threats potentially damaging to any business. This video explains the different types of DDoS attacks and how best to prevent them.

A DDoS attack aims to flood a specific target with connection requests and bring the network to a standstill. These attacks are malicious and can be planned for a variety of reasons – none of which are favorable to the target. Today, there are two main categories of DDoS attacks: volumetric and application layer attacks. Volumetric attacks flood and consume network bandwidth (typically using ICMP, UDP, and TCP SYN floods), while application layer attacks target specific applications and slowly exhaust resources (typically using HTTP or DNS).
