How does this attack type works ?
- Basically, this attack is meant to consume all available server resources, by overwhelming the control/state tables of the target host OS.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- Within this attack type, generally your server will just become unavailable for any type of external request that try to legitimately connect to any of your services.
- Many connection attempts are forged, confusing the host, making it believe that many of requests are real requests making it to serve to them up to its limit.
- In this case, while this attack is being performed, you will notice a high cpu, network and memory usage. In any packet sniffer such as wireshark, the packets will contain the SYN flag in all them.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.

How does this attack type works ?
- Similar to an UDP Flood, this attack is aimed at consuming the most bandwidth as possible in the target host.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- You will notice from just a bandwidth utilization up to entire networking capacity being used in the target host.
- There must be lag spikes, higher response times and disconnections caused during this type of attack, due to lack of networking bandwidth.
- There won’t be a higher cpu utilization, except in cases where the amount of received packets, may exceed the system I/O capabilities.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.
How does this attack type works ?
- Used to cause light overwhelming of control state tables of the target host OS.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- There is a chance where in case the attacker guesses users IPs and sequences to randomly start disconnecting them.
- There won’t be a higher cpu utilization, except in cases where the amount of received packets, may exceed the system I/O capabilities.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.
How does this attack type works ?
- Used to flood an application or OS socket pool in the target host, until it becomes full and unavailable.
What does it means in practical terms ?
- The application pool, will get full, causing it to crash or not accept any other connections during the event.
- Can cause the target host stack/pool to get full, up to the point it will not accept any connection from the outside at all.
- The zombie bots in the example, can either be infected regular user computers or compromised servers in any organization.
