Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are on the rise. These complex and devastating problems are a result of multiple systems (botnets) target a single resource. This incoming traffic overwhelms that target, essentially shutting it down and preventing legitimate traffic from getting through.
These malicious botnets start with one vulnerability, which then spreads via a trojan malware until enough systems have been infected as to be effective in the take-down.
