A DOS attack is a Denial–of–Service attack. It is a type of attack that seeks to overwhelm a network or computer system with data traffic and requests in order to make it unable to respond, either temporarily or permanently. An ACK scan is a type of port scanning technique used in DOS attacks which sends packets with the SYN flag set and the ACK flag set in order to discover open ports on the targeted device.
