A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack tool is software, script, or service designed to overwhelm a target server, service, or network with a massive volume of internet traffic, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users. These tools operate by coordinating a “botnet”—a network of infected computers or IoT devices—to send simultaneous requests, making it difficult for security systems to distinguish malicious traffic from authentic traffic.
