The PING of Death and Other DoS Network Attacks

What is known as Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks.?? Do You Prevent it or Not.? This Question Is Very Difficult.!!

I’m very disappointed to admit that in our days this type of attack is one of the most common attacks found in the network community. The intention of the attacker in this case is to stress the victim with a tremendous amount of spurious traffic so that the network has no more free resources to process normal legitimate traffic.

Learning about these types of network attacks — learning your enemy — will help you be prepared for the worst. Once you understand your enemy’s behavior and the different types of network threats we’ll move on to specific solutions and how to protect your network.

DoS Attacks - Denial-of-Service Attack

Denial of Service Attacks can take many forms. The most important ones are:

• SYN Flood
• UDP Flood
• ICMP Flood
• Land Attack
• Teardrop Attack

All these attacks have one thing in common which is nothing else than making their victim unable to serve legitimate traffic by filling up its session table with malicious connection attempts.
