DoS Attacks, or in other words Denial-of-Service Attacks. Here are some ways the attacks come in
1)Regular DoS attacks just send out Packets or useless commands to Lag out the server and make it non operational
2) Permanently send out DoS attacks (Plashing) that usually attacks the server so badly that some components of the server might have to be replaced
3) Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks (DDoS) when multiple systems just corrupt the bandwidth of the server
4) DRDoS (Distributed Reflected Denial-of-Service attack) Sends Forged requests to the server and floods it to lag it out
5)Degradation-of-Service attacks, launches intermittent and short-lived flooding of the server to slow it down rather then crashing it, This is not the case
6)DoS Level II, Same thing as a DoS, Sends out non-sense like commands but with the intention of launching the Defense mechanism within the server that will block the server out of the internet, not crashing it
7)BDoS (Blind Denial-of-Service) Pretty long, In a blind denial of service attack, the attacker has a significant advantage. The attacker must be able to receive traffic from the victim, then the attacker must either subvert the routing fabric or use the attacker's own IP address. Either provides an opportunity for the victim to track the attacker and/or filter out his traffic. With a blind attack the attacker uses a forged IP addresses, making it extremely difficult for the victim to filter out those packets.
