A denial-of-service (DoS) attack floods a server with traffic, making a website or resource unavailable. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a DoS attack that uses multiple computers or machines to flood a targeted resource with malicious traffic. DDoS attacks pose an increased threat to online services when compared to DoS, due to the increased scale of the attack.
