dns amplification attacks
DNS amplification attacks are a type of cyber attack in which the attacker utilizes vulnerable DNS servers to inundate a target's network with a large volume of DNS response traffic. This is achieved by sending a small request to a DNS server that allows recursive queries, causing the server to respond with a much larger reply. The amplified traffic overwhelms the target's network resources, leading to service disruptions and potential network downtime.
