Denial of service (DoS) is a type of cyber attack that attempts to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. Commonly, this is accomplished by flooding the target with traffic, or sending it information that consumes its resources so it cannot provide service. The end goal of a DoS attack is to prevent legitimate users from accessing the system.
