VerifiedNetwork Penetration Testing Methodology – External

Clark, a professional hacker, decided to disrupt the services offered by the target organization. During the initial information-gathering stage, he discovered vulnerabilities in the victim system’s TCP/IP protocol stack. He exploited these vulnerabilities to create numerous malformed packets in ample volume and sent these unusually crafted packets to the victim’s machine.

Identify the type of attack Clark is performing?

Explanation

A denial-of-service attack disrupts or exhausts a target’s availability by exploiting protocol-stack weaknesses or flooding the target with malformed traffic, preventing normal services from operating.
