Q
The DoS attack, in which the attacker establishes a large number of half-open or fully open TCP connections at the target host is ________
AA. Vulnerability attack
BB. Bandwidth flooding
CC. Connection flooding
DD. Udp flooding
Correct Answer:
C. C. Connection flooding
Explanation:
In Vulnerability attack, the attacker exploits the vulnerable control points of the network to deny access to the victims. In Bandwidth flooding, the attacker intentionally uses up all the bandwidth by flooding the victim with a deluge of packets and makes sure that the victim can’t use any bandwidth. In UDP flooding, too many UDP packets are sent by the attacker to the victim at random ports.
