Denials of Service (DoS) attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their

Computers share information over the Internet using a common language called TCP/IP. TCP/IP, in turn, is a
set of application protocols that perform specific functions. These protocols, such as HTTP (Web), FTP (File

"UDP port". For example, Web traffic by default uses TCP port 80.
When computers communicate on the Internet, they are using the client/server model, where the server

For example, a Web server typically listens on port 80. Please note that while a computer may be intended
