A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable... In a typical connection, the user sends a message asking the server to authenticate it.

In a denial of service attack, the user sends several authentication requests to the server, filling it up. All requests have false return addresses, so the server can't find the user when it tries to send the authentication approval.
