ICMP Flood: ICMP flood, also known as Ping flood or Smurf attack, is a type of Denial of Service attack that sends large amounts of (or just over-sized) ICMP packets to a machine in order to attempt to crash the TCP/IP stack on the machine and cause it to stop responding to TCP/IP requests.
Tear Drop Attacks: Use corrupted IP fragments of overlapping over sized payload to over load a target’s computer. This can cause the operating system to crash due to the TCP/IP reconfiguration reassembly code.
Peer to Peer Attacks: An attacker uses other computers to attack a victim, over loading the victim’s computer.
Permanent Denial of Service Attacks: Attacks that are so destructive they cause hardware to be reinstalled or replaced.
Application Level Floods: Floods the victim server with an overwhelming number of packets, causing the CPU to become confused and crash due to lack of resources.
Nuke: This attack is just as it sounds. The attacker sends corrupt data over and over to the victim until the computer locks up.
Distributed Attack: The attack comes from multiple fronts the attacker hides his whereabouts this way. The multiple fronts then flood band width, or take up resources causing system crashes or locking up the server.
Reflected Attack: This attack uses forced requests sent to multiple locations to flood the victims computer with response.
Degradation of Service attacks: Attackers use infected computers to degrade service of a server by flooding it intermittently. This type of attack is hard to detect because the victim has to determine if the traffic on the server is normal or not.
Unintentional Denial of Service: This is not an intentional attack, but is a result of users being directed to a smaller site from a larger site. The smaller site is typically unprepared for a jump in traffic.
Denial-of-Service Level II: This locks the network off the net, by triggering a defense protocol to block traffic to the internet. This will take the network off the net without shutting down the network itselfBlind denial of service: The attacker must be able to receive traffic from the victim, then redirect the traffic then either subvert the routing fabric, or use the attackers own IP address. This type attack the attacker can use multiple forged IP addresses to launch the attack.
DDoS Attacks: End Game
DDoS attacks can take a website down quickly and emphatically. By knowing what you are facing you can defend against them. DDoS Attacks range from brute force incursions, to surgical strikes against key components of a network. The right tools to set up your defenses and a DDoS attack can be stopped cold
