DOS Attacks and Protection
Denial Of Service (DOS) Attacks are one of the most commons attacks against servers and, though this, sometimes they take a server out of commission.
One of the best articles that I've found about this problem come from Security Warrior, and you can read it HERE. This article investigates two comon DOS attacks: The first attacks targets the Server Message Block protocol used by Windows machines, while the second targets the Universal Plug and Play service (a relatively modern feature of Windows operating systems).
Check it... It's really interesting.
