DoS (Denial of Service) Attack

DoS (Denial of Service) Attacks are an virtual assault on a server. They are more often used to target large businesses. The hacker gains control of several servers, and causes all of them to send an endless stream of HTTP requests to one URL. That webserver is overloaded and shuts down, possibly exposing a security hole in the process.
