Day-353: What are Application Layer DDoS Attacks?

The basis for this attack often targets applications like Web Servers (i.e., Windows IIS, Apache, etc…); however, application layer attacks have been evolving to application platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, and others.The goal of application layer attacks is to take out an application, an online service, or a website.These attacks are usually smaller than the ones we have seen before. Nevertheless, the consequence of an application layer attack can be nefarious, since they can go unnoticed until it is too late to react. That is why they are called “low and slow attacks” or even “slow-rate attacks”. They can be silent and small, especially when compared to network-layer attacks, but they can be just as disruptive.For example, a small VPS on Linode, Digital Ocean or AWS (Amazon) can easily handle a 100,000 to 200,000 packets per second SYN flood. However, the same server running on a WordPress or Joomla CMS can barely break 500 HTTP requests per second without shutting down. That is why application layer attacks can cause as much damage as a network application attack._Do you want to become a Skilled-Cybersecurity Professional 🕴🕴🕴.Here is the gateway ⛩  https://luminisindia.com/goehm How to perform a 🔥🔥PENTESTING🔥🔥???🎯🎯 A Pentesting Mini Project🎯🎯https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84gNIEmCEAA If you find the video content informative, please Like thevideo and 📣📣📣 share with your friends.Help your friends to understand cybersecurity.
