Anetwork administrator attempted to access the company website and received a "page not found" error. the next day the administrator checked the web server logs and noticed that during the same hour that the site failed to load, there was an unusually large number of requests for the website home page. all of the requests originated from the same ip address. given this information, what might the network administrator conclude?

a DoS attack occurred

Explanation:

According to my research on information technology and cybersecurity, I can say that based on the information provided within the question he can conclude that a DoS attack occurred. This (denial-of-service) attack is when an individual sends a large amount of network authentication requests with an invalid return address and overloads a server until it crashes. Which is why the company website says "page not found". All of these requests are usually from a single computer, which is also why they all originated from the same IP in this situation.
