Why is DDoS attack so dangerous?

DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack – Explanation

The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a cyberthreat that uses resource capacity restrictions for each network resource. Therefore, its primary goal is to compromise crucial targets, like a system, network, or server. The DDoS assault floods the targeted online site with requests. The intention is to overburden the website’s capacity completely. As a result, the target is unable to manage all of the requests, and regular users would be unable to access the website.

DDoS attacks frequently target websites for online shopping or various kinds of businesses that provide online services.

What is DNSSEC?

Posted on July 24, 2021July 27, 2021 By Mario No Comments on What is DNSSEC?
What is DNSSEC?

You can see DNSSEC as a patch to otherwise unsafe DNS. It brings cryptography to the table and a whole line of trust, which guarantees every level and provides top-notch security for your domain.

What does DNSSEC mean?

The whole meaning of DNSSEC is a mouth full – Domain Name System Security Extensions.

The original DNS is fast and reliable, but it lacks security. It wasn’t that of a problem when it was first created. Later, in 1993, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) finalized specifications for DNS data encryption standards. It got in use in 2005, and its latest revision is from 2010. 

The DNSSEC aims to stop the DNS cache poisoning and alteration of the DNS data that could happen if it is not activated.

The DNSSEC involves all levels of a domain, including the root, TLD, and the part that you can manage.

It uses a combination of public and private keys, where each upper level can verify the level below.

It is a chain of trust. If one level fails, the chain is broken, and the data cannot be trusted.
