An ethical hacker is conducting a Denial of Service (DoS) simulation lab using hping3 in Kali Linux. During the attack, they execute a terminal loop script to continuously audit the availability of the target's web server at http://192.168.56 .

The script returns the following real-time outputs:

attack code=000 time=2.002860s
attack code=000 time=2.003217s
attack code=000 time=2.001850s
attack code=000 time=2.000900s
attack code=000 time=2.002166s

Based on these specific outputs, what is the current state of the victim's web server?
