13.3.21.2 Denial of Service
Firewall
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack is an attempt to make a computer resource
unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of concerted
efforts to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently.
One common method involves saturating the target’s machine with external communications requests, so it cannot respond to
legitimate traffic or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. DoS attacks are implemented by either
forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consume its resources so it can’t provide its intended service.
The DoS screen displays the types of attack, number of times it occurred and the time of last occurrence.
