Smurf attack

Hey there, kiddo! Have you ever been to a party where there are so many people that you feel crowded and overwhelmed? Well, imagine your computer feeling the same way! That’s what happens during a Smurf Attack.

In a Smurf Attack, a person sends a message to thousands of computers to ask them to send information back to a specific computer. But all these computers respond at the same time, which floods the targeted computer with too much information to handle. It's like when you and all your friends try to talk at the same time, and nobody can understand what's going on!

This attack can make the targeted computer very slow or even crash completely. It's not a nice thing to do, just like it's not nice to shout and make too much noise at a party. That's why it's important for people to protect their computers from Smurf Attacks by having good security measures in place.
