Are there different types of botnet DDoS attacks, and how do their attack vectors vary?

Yes, botnet DDoS attacks can be categorized by their attack vectors, targeting different layers of the OSI model. Common types include: 1. **Volume-based attacks** (e.g., UDP floods, ICMP floods) that overwhelm bandwidth. 2. **Protocol attacks** (e.g., SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks) that exploit weaknesses in network protocols, consuming server resources. 3. **Application-layer attacks** (e.g., HTTP floods, Slowloris) that target specific web application vulnerabilities, requiring fewer resources to cause significant disruption by mimicking legitimate user behavior.
