Relevant persons analyzed: "This attack is mainly 'refusing to service attack'. Refusing the service attack is to take measures for the attacker to stop the target machine to stop providing services. This is one of the most commonly used attack methods for hackers.Specific effect: First, the buffer area of the server does not receive new requests. The second is to use IP to deceive, forcing the server to reset the connection of illegal users, leading to the connection of legal users, and eventually leading the website to collapse. "
