I recall that a DDoS attack is more complex because it uses a network of compromised devices, but I can't remember the exact details on how that differs from a DoS attack.

I feel like I might be mixing up the definitions. Is it that a DDoS attack targets multiple servers or just overwhelms a single one with traffic?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe the key difference is that DDoS attacks come from many sources, while DoS attacks come from one.

I think I remember that a DDoS attack involves multiple devices, but I'm not sure if it's just about the number of devices or something else too.

I've got it! The main difference is that a DDoS attack is distributed, coming from various external sources, while a DoS is more centralized.

I'm pretty sure the right answer is B. After all, a DDoS is like a cyber-flashmob, while a DoS is just a grumpy old man yelling at a server.

Haha, 'incapacitate only one device'? I bet the person who wrote that has never dealt with a real DDoS attack. Those things can take down entire data centers, no problem!
