<p>(D)DoS attacks are not just a technical problem — they operate at the Business, Social, and Informational level as well. This post covers the non-technical dimensions; the <a href="https://blog.none.at/blog/2026/2026-06-19-ddos-technical/">technical follow-up</a> covers Layer 3/4 network floods, BGP hijacking, TLS handshake attacks, Layer 7 application DDoS, and operational resilience.</p> <p>Originally published at <a rel="noopener external" target="_blank" href="https://www.opensourcerers.org/2023/11/27/whats-a-ddos-and-how-to-protect-against-such-an-attack-non-technical/">opensourcerers.org</a>; updated with current examples and expanded framing.</p>

<p>This is the index and reading guide for a three-part series on denial-of-service and application security. The first two parts cover <strong>availability</strong> attacks — a service being made unreachable or unusable — at levels most people don’t associate with the term “DDoS”: the business level (losing the people who run the service), the social level (manipulating the humans behind it), the informational level (reputational disruption), and finally the technical level most readers expect (network floods, BGP hijacking, Layer 7 exhaustion). The third part is a deliberate step sideways, into application-layer attacks — SQL Injection, Log4Shell, the OWASP Top 10 — that threaten <strong>confidentiality and integrity</strong> instead of availability.</p>
