      An attack by denied service (Denial Of Service attack, hence the abbreviation DoS) is a computer attack whose aim is to make a service unavailable, to prevent legitimate users of a service from using it. This may involve the disruption of connections between two machines, preventing access to a particular service, the flooding of a network in order to prevent its operation, the obstruction of access to a service at a person in particular, also the fact of sending billions of bytes to an internet box. A denial of service attack can block a file server, make access to a web server impossible or prevent the distribution of email within a company. This mode of attack is widely used by hackers via security vulnerabilities “Zero Days” or the absence of automatic updates.
