DDOS demystified

Description

DDOS demystified training course description

This course covers DDOS attacks and how to defend against them. The course starts by studying DOS attacks and then DDOS attack. Reflectors, booters and stressers are followed by reflection and amplification. Once the various DDOS attacks have been covered we then study the ways to defend against DDOS attacks.

What will you learn

• Describe DDOS.
• Explain how DDOS attacks work.
• Recognise DDOS attack types.
• Describe how to defend DDOS attacks.
