00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:05,460
Now we will discuss a denial of service attack, it is also no net loss attack.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:12,510
Imagine you are sitting in traffic on one lane country road with Godsmack, though as far as the eye

3
00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:18,570
can see, normally this road never sees more than a single or two car at the same time.

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,600
But a country fair and a major sporting event ended around the same time.

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:31,650
And this road is the only way for visitors to live that down the road can't handle the massive amount

6
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:32,340
of traffic.

7
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:37,430
And as a result, it gets so bad that pretty much no one can live.

8
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:44,100
That is essentially what happened to a website during a denial of service attack, if you followed of

9
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:50,100
a certain way to more traffic than it was built to handle, you will overload the website server and

10
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:56,320
it will be impossible for the website to sort up its contain to visitors who are trying to access it.

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,360
This can happen also for innocuous reasons, of course, that if a massive news story breaks and a newspaper's

12
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:08,870
website gets overloaded with traffic from people trying to find out more.

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,440
But this kind of traffic overloaded is malicious as an attack floats of absurd with an overwhelming

14
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,850
amount of traffic to essentially shut down the website for all users.
