SYN Flood is a DOS attack in which an attacker deliberately violates the three-way handshake and opens a large number of half-open TCP connections. The signature of attack for SYN Flood contains:
A.
The source and destination address having the same value
B.
A large number of SYN packets appearing on a network without the corresponding reply packets
C.
The source and destination port numbers having the same value
D.
A large number of SYN packets appearing on a network with the corresponding reply packets
Actually, the victim does reply with a SYN/ACK message, but then the attacker would not reply with a ACK or RST, leaving the ports on the victim machines half-open and waiting for a answer.
I agree….should be D or rewritten as large number of SYN-ACK packets without Replies
b
Answer is wrong it should have D
