Matched on "Denial of Service"

The Denial of Service (DoS) attack is focused on making a resource (site, application, server) unavailable for the purpose it was designed. There are many ways to make a service unavailable for legitimate users by manipulating network packets, programming, logical, or resources handling vulnerabilities, among others.

What is this? (2min video)

It is often convenient to serialize objects for communication or to save them for later use. However, serialized data or code can be modified. This malformed data or unexpected data could be used to abuse application logic, deny service, or execute arbitrary code when deserialized. This is usually done with "gadget chains
