Attacks
A hacker issues a flood of broadcast ping messages.
smurf attack
Industry-accepted standardized format that allows communication between devices.
Protocol
Device on which you are working
local host
Ipv6 address similar to a private Ip in Ipv4
site-local address
When a person redirects or captures secure transmissions as they occur.
man-in-the-middle attack
Sending hosts and receiving client complete a three-step process to verify the successful transmission of data.
Three-way Handshake
one of the four 8-bit sections in a TCCP/ IP Ipv4 addresses.
Octet
Public Ipv6 address, can be routed and sent out on the Internet.
global unicast address
The attacker creates a high volume of illegitimate wireless traffic and overwhelms the wireless network.
What is Jamming
Tool that intercepts raw data traveling on the network media
Packet Sniffer
Can drop packets or apply filters in place on switches or routers is a DOS attack is detected.
Flood Guard
The organization responsible for assigning public IP addresses.
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
Involves the hacker exploiting a vulnerability in the three-way handshake by not closing the handshake.
SYN Flood
Used as Part of the transmission process to manage packets within a transmission session.
Initial Sequence Number (ISN)
In IPv4 addressing, a 32-bit number that, when combined with a device's IP address, indicates what kind of subnet the device belongs to.
Subnet Mask
Physical address embedded into the hardware of network cards.
Media Access Control (MAC) address
When a session key is stolen or intercepted, an attacker can take control of the session.
Session Hijacking Attack
Many hosts are contributing in attacking the victim.
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack
Ip address and port together
socket
Network Service that converts an internal private number to a number for a public network, such as the Internet.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
