Understanding TCP and UDP Attacks (SRWE 3.7)

What does TCP stand for in computer networking?

• Transmission Control Protocol

• Transfer Communication Protocol

• Transport Connection Protocol

• Transmission Connection Protocol

Which of the following is a characteristic of TCP? (choose 2)

• Connectionless communication

• Reliable delivery

• Connection-oriented communication

• No error checking

What is the primary purpose of the TCP three-way handshake?

• To encrypt data

• To establish a connection

• To terminate a connection

• To reset a connection

In a TCP SYN Flood attack, what is the attacker trying to exploit?

• The encryption process

• The three-way handshake

• The data transfer phase

• The connection termination process

In a TCP SYN Flood attack . . .

• the target device replies with a SYN-ACK

• the target device's reply never reaches the destination because it is a spoofed address

• the source device replies with a SYN-ACK

• the target device's reply is sent to the threat actor's device eventhough it is a spoofed address

What does a TCP Reset attack aim to do?

• Establish a new connection

• Terminate an existing connection

• Encrypt data

• Flood the network with packets

Which packet is used in a TCP Reset attack?

• SYN packet

• ACK packet

• RST packet

• FIN packet

What is TCP Session Hijacking?

• Establishing a new TCP session

• Terminating a TCP session

• Taking over an existing TCP session

• Encrypting a TCP session

What is the main goal of a UDP Flood attack?

• To encrypt data

• To establish a connection

• To overwhelm the target with traffic

• To reset a connection

Which protocol is targeted in a UDP Flood attack?

• TCP

• HTTP

• UDP

• FTP
