8.5 DoS Setting
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its
intended users. One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external
communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be
rendered effectively unavailable. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload. In general terms, DoS
attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consuming its resources
so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the
intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
Enable DoS Prevention to detect and prevent denial of service attacks through automatic rate filtering or
rules to protect legitimate users during the DoS attacks.
