Description: Fake traffic refers to the generation of data that simulates the activity of real users on a network or system. This type of traffic is commonly used in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, where multiple sources send requests to a server with the aim of overwhelming it and making it inaccessible. Often, fake traffic is created using bots or automated scripts that mimic human behavior, such as clicking on links or requesting access to web pages. The main characteristic of this traffic is that, while it may appear legitimate, it does not come from real users, making it an effective tool for attackers seeking to destabilize online services. The relevance of fake traffic lies in its ability to deceive defense systems, which may not be able to distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic. This poses a significant challenge for businesses and organizations that rely on the availability of their online services, as they must implement robust protection measures to mitigate the impact of these attacks.
