Description: Kinetic attack is a type of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack characterized by the use of a large volume of traffic to disrupt or degrade the availability of online services. This type of attack relies on saturating the resources of a server, network, or infrastructure, causing legitimate users to be unable to access the affected services. Kinetic attacks can be executed through various techniques, including the use of botnets, which are networks of compromised devices that send massive requests to a specific target. The nature of these attacks can vary, from packet floods to malicious requests, and their impact can be devastating for businesses and organizations that rely on the constant availability of their online services. Protection against kinetic attacks is crucial in the field of cybersecurity, as service disruption can result in significant economic losses and damage to brand reputation. Therefore, mitigation strategies, such as the use of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and DDoS mitigation services, are essential to safeguard the integrity of digital infrastructures.
