Flooding attacks are the most common form of [denial of service (DoS)], where the threat actor repeatedly sends requests to connect to the target server but does not complete the connections. These incomplete connections occupy and consume all available server resources. As a result, the server cannot respond to legitimate traffic and connection attempts.

CONT

Une attaque par inondation est la forme la plus courante de déni de service. Elle se produit lorsqu'un auteur de menace envoie à répétition des demandes de connexion au serveur ciblé, mais qu'il ne parvient pas à établir la connexion. Ces procédures de connexion incomplètes occupent et consomment toutes les ressources disponibles du serveur. Ainsi, le serveur ne parvient plus à traiter ni le trafic ni les demandes de connexion légitimes.
