2.

can effectively prevents attackers from launching simple flooding type attacks from machines behind the firewall.

(a)  

3.

(a)   is a malicious attempt by a single person or group of people to cause the victim, site or node to deny service to its customers.

4.

some switches provide automatic and/or system wide rate limiting, traffic shaping, delayed binding to detect DOS Attacks.

(a)  

5.

(a)   a multiple compromised computers, often referred to as "bots" or "zombies," are coordinated to launch an attack on a target simultaneously.

6.

If you add rules to take flow statistics out of the router during the DoS attacks, they further slow down and complicate the matter.

(a)  

7.

The primary goal: to overwhelm the target's resources and disrupt its normal operation. However, the scale and complexity of attacks are typically much greater.

a)

DoS

b)

DDoS

8.

The primary goal: to exhaust the target's resources, such as bandwidth, CPU, memory, or network connections, to make the system slow down or become completely unresponsive

a)

DoS

b)

DDoS

9.

In a DoS attack, there are multiple sources, often forming a botnet, while in a DDoS attack, there is a single source of attack

a)

True

b)

False

10.

DDoS attacks are typically more massive and can generate a much higher volume of traffic than a DoS attack. This makes DDoS attacks more challenging to defend against.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

DoS attacks are relatively easier to trace and mitigate because they originate from a single source. DDoS attacks, on the other hand, are distributed across many different systems, making them harder to attribute and block.

a)

True

b)

False

12.

DoS attacks are often more complex to orchestrate, as they require the coordination of multiple compromised devices. DDoS attacks can be simpler and executed by a single attacker.

a)

True

b)

False

13.

What are the DoS attack surface? Multiple Ans.

a)

User Interfaces

b)

Applications

c)

Databases

d)

Computer

e)

Keyboard

14.

What are the DoS flood attacks? Multiple Ans.

a)

IPS flooding

b)

Ping Flood

c)

SNY Flood

d)

Smurf Attack

e)

UDP Flood
