![]() The Smurf Attack is a very old-school ( around 1998 * Patched Now ) kind of attach that we do not see often. ![]() ![]() ( Packets per second ) The Smurf Attack : Oh Smurf me!! Smurf’n Server Smurf!! When we look at these attacks, they use many of the server resources, an other hardware, such as firewalls and load balancers, These attacks are measured in pps. They include SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks, Ping of Death,and my favorite…. There are a few notable types of protocol attacks. As to before Lower Amounts of Data but the attack lasted for days. In recent years we have seen a Increased amount of Data but for lower Durations of Time. Here the attackers main goal is to exhaust the bandwidth of the server or site. Spoofed-packet floods : Here we fake the origin of the UDP Packet to keep the attacker machines from receiving the request. ICMP floods or Ping Floods : Sends massive amounts of ping requests to overload server or resource. If it cannot it sends back a ICMP Unreachable Packet. When the machine get the request it has to look through its list of programs listening on ports and try to match the request. UDP floods : Sending data to ports on the machine. While SIZE or Volume based attacks may include: We try to define the different attacking into three main categories. In a DDoS attack there can be thousands of computers, sometimes called a bot-net, and a few servers, ports or other systems. In a DoS attack it is most commonly found there is one computer and one server or resource. In most cases its the number of computers and the complexity of the attack. What are the Differences Between a DoS and a DDoS Attack? With the addition of the “IoT” market, this means pretty much everything is fair game. ![]() Moreover, a DoS attack can be designed to: max out the processor, preventing usage trigger errors in machine microcode or sequencing of instructions, forcing the computer into an unstable state crash the operating system altogether. Some DoS attacks can also target available system resources, such as bandwidth, disk space, CPU time, configuration information. Not all DDoS attacks are against hardware. What kinds of Devices can be Targets? Computers? These requests, which are specially crafted, overload the systems targeted, and stops it from responding to legitimate traffic, or slows its response so much that it is considered effectively off-line. The most common type of Denial of Service attack involves flooding the targets with large amounts of external communication requests. What are the Common Types of DDoS Attacks?
