Denial of service is actually very simple attack that keeps the target's system from operating as it
should.
Is very simple form.
It uses up all the system's resources so that other people can connect legitimately and use the server.
Those attacks are actually the easiest tasks that we learn this course.
It only takes a small little kid to install an application for the target IP and just press enter so
that attack will take place and the U.S. attack can be categorized on the three headlines volume based
tox protocol based attacks and application their attacks.
Have all the waste attack is one the attacker sends a large volume of packets to the target machine
thereby using all the resources actually here using the or consuming the bandwidth.
So we're filling the bandwidth and these types of attacking the ICMP in GDP floods the protocol based
attacks is when the attacker utilizes all the resources of the target machine and such attacks include
Smurf attacks frontal attacks and floods and things of death.
Here we are not utilizing the bandwidth but rather utilizing the resources of the server.
The third type of a type is the application layer on top where the determent application layer requests
are being sent to web servers such as Microsoft IRS or Apache server with the intent to crush it.
Now I'll show you how to perform a U.S. attack from County.
Of course not.
Did U.S. attack because it's actually the same type of attack but did us involves more than one attack
source to do this US attack.
You open a terminal and then you write.
We will use the ether cup application again.
It's a cab then minus the uppercase Sim which opened its phone menu but here it's from the terminal.
You go to sniff unifies the thing you press okay and then you go to the plugins menu manage the plug
ins and you select the US attack.
You double click on this plugin it will prompt you to enter the target IP so we'll use our Windows machine
here.
Look in Windows machine and then you enter the same IP again.
And here you go.
It's activating the U.S. attack starting this can and then starting the attack.
So simply by using the take up application you can launch a U.S. attack.
