This kind of attack can easily be controlled by blocking the IP etc. if a website can handle 100 people/second clicking the signup button, an attacker only has to send 100 fake requests/second to make it so no legitimate users can sign up. The attackers try to make the attack sophisticated by making the requests/traffic seem like normal traffic and making the frequency and source of traffic random.Į.g. This way the legitimate traffic gets denied of the resources rendering the target useless. The target is unable to distinguish between the attack traffic and legitimate traffic and ends up exhausting its resources towards attack traffic. DoS (denial of service) is a type of attack in which a threat actor sends bogus traffic to the targeted entity.
