What is a Web Server Attack?

Introduction

Web servers are where websites are stored and hosted. These servers are just computers running an operating system like Windows or Linux. Operating systems allow users to interact with their computers by sending information to the application, which sends the information to the operating system. Any vulnerabilities would lead to an attack on the web server. An attempt to target and disrupt web servers is called a web server attack.
