Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic.

Symptoms of a DDoS attack:
- a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable
- suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range
- suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc
- odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc

Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS:
- monitor web traffic
- restriction (for example country)
- use cloud
- increase bandwidth
- have plans (for example security plans)

Embedding in HTML: PHP code can be directly embedded within HTML, making it easy to create dynamic web pages. Dynamic Content: PHP allows you to generate content that changes based on user input, database information, or other factors.

Key Features and Characteristics: Open Source: PHP is free to use and distribute. Cross-Platform: It runs on various operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS). Large Community: A vast community provides support, resources, and libraries. Web Framework...

In reality, it’s more like working with a highly brilliant, lightning-fast intern who has read every book in the library but has zero common sense. To get the best out of A.I., you don’t just "use" it, you guide it. Here is how to "train" and "teach" your A.I. to grow alongside you. 1. Stop "Searching," Start "Briefing" Most people use A.I. like Google, typing in short keywords. To "train" it for a specific task, you need to provide a brief. A great prompt usually follows the R-C-G framework: Role: Tell it who to be. "Act as a senior marketing consultant with 20 years of experience." Context: Give it the background. "I am launching a small bakery that specializes in sourdough in a busy urban neighborhood." Goal: Tell it exactly what you want. "Write three Instagram captio...
