resource exhaustion attacks
Resource exhaustion attacks, also known as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, refer to malicious activities in which an attacker aims to overwhelm a target system's resources, such as network bandwidth, processing power, or memory, rendering the system unable to fulfill legitimate user requests. This renders the targeted system or service unavailable to users, causing disruption and hindrance.
