SYN Flood Attack
Check A SYN flood attack requests a connection and then fails to
promptly acknowledge a destination host's response, leaving the
destination host vulnerable to a flood of connection requests.
Source Routing
Check A source routing attack specifies an exact route for a packet's
travel through a network, while exploiting the use of an
intermediate host to gain access to a private host.
Winnuke Attack
Check A "Win-nuking" attack uses the IP address of a destination host to
send junk packets to its receiving port.
FTP Bounce Attack
Check An FTP bounce attack uses the PORT command in FTP mode to gain
access to arbitrary ports on machines other than the originating
client.
IP Unaligned
Timestamp Check An IP unaligned timestamp attack uses a frame with the IP
timestamp option, where the timestamp is not aligned on a 32-bit
boundary.
Sequence Number
Prediction Check A sequence number prediction attack establishes a three-way TCP
connection with a forged source address. The attacker guesses the
sequence number of the destination host response.
Mime Flood Attack
Check A MIME flood attack uses an improperly formatted MIME header
in "sendmail" to cause a buffer overflow on the destination host.
