Can you DDoS a static website?
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are becoming increasingly common nowadays. It doesn’t matter if your website has static content — its web server could easily become a victim of a DDoS attack if you don’t take the necessary measures.
What is network attack surface?
The network attack surface is the totality of all vulnerabilities in connected hardware and software that are accessible to unauthenticated users. Limiting some network attack vectors can also limit exposure of existing software vulnerabilities by blocking access to them.
Which action is most important to reduce the attack surface of a system?
The attack surface of your operating systems represents all the possible attack entry points. The more services and applications you have running on your system, the more entry points and the greater the attack surface. To decrease the attack surface of your system, you should disable all unused services.
Which one of the following is passive attack?
Examples of passive attacks include network analysis, eavesdropping and traffic analysis.
Do I need a backend for a static website?

Which is an example of an attack surface?
The more flaws you have, the greater the attack surface of your application. Attack surface represents your application’s exposure to attack, but not necessarily its vulnerability to attack. Consider a bank, for example: the outer walls and roof of the building are its attack surface.
