In a traffic flooding attack, the perpetrator generates massive volumes of traffic directed at a specific target, leading to the exhaustion of resources such as bandwidth, CPU, and memory. This can render the target service unresponsive and interrupt normal operations. These attacks can be executed using botnets or any tool capable of sending large amounts of data to the target service. It is particularly concerning in web3 environments as decentralized applications aim to maintain a trustless and resilient infrastructure.
