Q

DoS - reflective/amplified

A

Uses potentially legitimate thridparty component to send the attack traffic to a victim, hiding the attackers identity. The attackers send packets to the reflector servers with a source IP address set to their victim’s IP, indirectly overwhelming the victim with the response packets. DNS and NTP servers are particularly susceptible to this attack

Q

DoS - Smurfing

A

a DDoS attack in which large numbers of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets with the intended victim’s spoofed source IP are broadcast to a computer network using an IP broadcast address. The target of the attack is flooded with packets, causing performance to decline

Q

DoS - Friendly/Unintentional

A

a DoS attack that is carried out by devices that have legitimate access to the attacked server. This can occur as part of a DDoS where the legitimate device is a botnet. It could also occur when a user inadvertently causes a DoS attack due to initialising multiple requests that hang up the server

Q

Split Pairs

A

A split pair is a wiring error where two wires of a twisted pair are instead connected using two wires from different pairs. It most commonly occurs when a punch-down block is wired incorrectly or when RJ-45 connectors are crimped onto the wrong wires. In both these situations, you will need to rewrite the block or connector.
