Please respond to student's comment below:
1. A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is one in which the attacker tries to prevent the intended users from using a machine or network resource. Any system or network resource, including a website, an email server, or an online bank, can be the target of a DoS attack. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and rate restriction are frequently used as countermeasures to DoS attacks.
2. An assault known as a "Man-in-the-Middle" (MiTM) attack occurs when an attacker interjects himself or herself into a conversation between two people in order to listen in on the conversation or manipulate the messages being exchanged. Any form of communication, including email, instant messaging, and phone calls, is susceptible to MiTM assaults. Digital signatures, authentication, and encryption are often used defenses against MiTM attacks.
