<h3>
Understanding DDoS Attacks
</h3>
<p>
A DDoS attack involves multiple compromised systems (often a botnet) sending an overwhelming volume of requests to a target, exhausting its resources - CPU, memory, bandwidth, or connections. Common attack types include HTTP floods, SYN floods, and UDP amplification. Nginx, with its lightweight architecture and robust features, can be configured to resist many of these attacks, but it requires careful tuning.
