Define dos?..

Answer / Upasna Sharma

DOS (Denial of Service) is a type of cyber attack where the attacker attempts to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. This can be achieved by flooding the target with superfluous requests, overloading it, or exploiting vulnerabilities. The goal of a DOS attack is to disrupt services and cause inconvenience, financial loss, or damage to the targeted system.
