 DDoS explained

• DDoS attack is like an unexpected traffic

jam clogging up the highway

• DDoS attacks are carried out with

networks of Internet-connected
machines (Botnets)

• Because each bot is a legitimate Internet

device, separating the attack traffic from
normal traffic can be difficult.
Man-in-the-middle attack

between a user and an application - either to
eavesdrop or to impersonate one of the parties.

1. IP spoofing (altering packet headers in an IP

address)
2. ARP spoofing (fake ARP messages)
3. DNS spoofing (infiltrating a DNS server)
