Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A denial-of-service attack involves an attacker flooding a target with a large number of connection or information requests, making the target's system unable to respond to legitimate requests. Distributed denial-of-service attack is a type of denial-of-service attack, but it involves multiple attackers coordinating their efforts to overwhelm the target system. Virus and spam attacks involve malicious software or unwanted messages, respectively, but do not necessarily involve overwhelming a target's system with requests.
