Dos & DDOS attacks

What is the primary purpose of using hping3 in internal pentesting?

• To create a secure network connection

• To generate flood attacks for testing network resilience

• To encrypt data packets

• To monitor network traffic

Which type of packets does a UDP flood attack primarily use?

• TCP packets

• ICMP packets

• UDP packets

• ARP packets

In the command `hping3 --flood --udp -p 80 192.168.1.10`, what does `-p 80` specify?

• The target IP address

• The target port number

• The packet size

• The protocol type

What is the effect of the `--flood` option in the hping3 command?

• It limits the packet sending rate

• It sends packets as fast as possible

• It encrypts the packets

• It changes the packet type to ICMP

Which protocol is used in an ICMP flood attack?

• TCP

• UDP

• ICMP

• HTTP

What is the common name for an ICMP flood attack?

• SYN flood

In the context of hping3, what does the `--udp` option specify?

• The use of TCP packets

• The use of ICMP packets

• The use of UDP packets

• The use of ARP packets

What is the primary goal of a flood attack in network testing?

• To secure the network

• To overwhelm the system’s resources

• To encrypt data

• To reduce network latency

Which of the following is a valid target IP address format for hping3 commands?
