An attack that sends packets with the same source and destination addresses would be considered what type of attack?
A.
Denial-of-service attack
B.
Asynchronous attack
C.
Distributed attack
D.
Timing attack
Explanation:
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack performs some type of activity that
will result in the victim system being unable to perform tasks. A land attack is
when an attacker modifies a packet to contain the same source and destination
address. A system that is vulnerable to this type of attack does not know what to do
with these types of packets and may freeze. Making a system freeze makes it unable
to perform its tasks, thus a DoS attack is accomplished.
