DoS stands for Denial of Service attack. A DoS attack uses a computer to flood a server with TCP and UDP packets. This makes a website or resource unavailable.

DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service attack. A DDoS attack is a DoS attack that uses multiple computers or machines to flood a targeted resource. The targeted network is then bombarded with packets from multiple locations.

A DDoS attack is faster than a DoS attack.
