This course provides a complete introduction to Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in the field of cybersecurity. You will learn how these attacks disrupt websites, servers, and networks by overwhelming them with malicious traffic. The course explains the fundamental difference between DoS and DDoS attacks, how attackers build botnets, and the most common attack techniques such as SYN floods, UDP floods, and HTTP floods.

Through practical demonstrations, you will understand how these attacks are launched in controlled lab environments for educational purposes. The course also covers real-world examples of major DDoS incidents that impacted global organizations, helping you understand the seriousness of such threats.

In addition, you will explore detection methods, prevention strategies, and mitigation techniques used by cybersecurity professionals to defend systems. By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundational understanding of DDoS attacks and the security measures needed to protect networks and web applications from disruption.
