DOS attacks involve flooding servers, systems or networks with traffic to cause over-consumption of victim resources. This makes it troublesome or not possible for legitimate users to access or use targeted sites.

Common DOS attacks include:

Buffer overflow attacks

ICMP flood

SYN flood

Teardrop attack

Smurf attack
