I don't know that
much about a DOS attack, but from what I've heard, I understand that it makes it
appear that there are a bunch of people viewing that particular site, so the web
server serves a bunch of web pages, so that it overloads the server. The
server can't handle it and therefore crashes. From that understanding,
wouldn't it be possible that a bunch of people actually do view that site, crash
the server, and it not actually be a DOS attack? Could someone please help
me understand this a little more? If you know of any websites that explain
the DOS attack in more detail, please let me know. Thank
you.
