Smurf attack

is opening hundreds of SSH sessions to a single host every minute. a. The large number of attempted connections each minute suggests this is an attempted denial of service attack. This type of attack attempts to overload network resources with illegitimate traffic to deny service to legitimate users or business needs. IDS and IPS devices can detect all of this traffic, and the IPS can drop (or have border network devices such as firewalls drop) these packets to prevent the attack from succeeding. 2) Network traffic shows that hundreds of hosts are constantly sending only SYN packets to a single Web server on campus. a. This type of traffic suggests a SYN flood attack, which according to Techtarget (http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/SYN-flooding) is when half-open connections are attempted by the user only sending SYN packets. The server will respond with SYN/ACK packets (on open ports), but the client ignores them and re-sends SYN packets. This means the server cannot handle legitimate traffic when needed. Similar to #1 above, IDS and IPS devices can detect all of this traffic and an IPS can drop the packets before they get to the target server after the pattern is recognized as an attack. 3) A system administrator reports that a single host is attempting to…

“Denial-of-Service attacks are the cyber equivalent of vandalism. Rather than seek to break into the target system, the perpetrator simply wishes to render the target system unusable” (Easttom, Taylor, 2011). This type of cybercrime prevents the end users from attaining the resource accessibility. Denial-of-Service is also known as a DOS. An attack was launched in Santa Cruz County website in California that caused “county’s government entities and programs, including Emergency Services, Law…

A denial of service attack is a push to make one or more PC frameworks inaccessible. It is normally focused at web servers, however it can likewise be utilized on mail servers, name servers, and some other sort of PC framework. Denial of service attack (DoS) attacks may be started from a solitary machine, yet they normally utilize numerous PCs to do an attacks. Since most servers have firewalls and other security programming introduced, it is anything but difficult to bolt out individual…

(Hawking, n.d.) No matter what humans invent it will always end up being used for warfare and computers are no different. Cyber warfare is now commonplace throughout the world because just about any country can do it. This causes it to have many various effects throughout the world. “Cyberwarfare is Internet-based conflict involving politically motivated attacks on information and information systems.” (Rouse, 2010) Not much is actually known about the effects of cyber warfare because most cases…

If you know that you will be surprising your enemy, you could setup multiple weapons and traps. Even though guerilla warfare is use full in many ways, there are still disadvantages of using it. If the attacks are slow there is a possibility that the enemy can easily stop the attack. Group of twenty troops can easily kill four poorly trained men. The attack also has to be welled planned. You have to predict the location of the enemy troops and be familiar with the area. The Continental Army…

in his research Cyber-Attacks: The New Front of Warfare a Growing Threat to U.S. Security 2011, says that cyber-attacks that have happened in the current days and those foreseeable in the future are an indication of the threat we face in regards to cyber systems vulnerability. Some of the allies associated with the U.S. such as in 2007 when Estonia was attacked could also very well indirectly have an outward effect on the national security of the U.S. Successive attacks on other countries…

Attacks, rumors, and gossip have been one of the leading tactics to highlight politician fallacies. To win the hearts of the Americans, they have to use negative tactics to make Americans believe their side or vote on their particular issue.
