Question

An attacker can not use spoofed source IP addresses when launching TCP SYN Flood attacks. 

true or false?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :

TCP SYN Flood attacks, also known as SYN flood, is an attack on a computer or network that uses the Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) SYN (synchronize) flag to overwhelm a targeted system with half-open connections. The attack works by sending multiple TCP SYN requests to the targeted system, which then responds with an SYN-ACK response. The attacker then fails to respond to the SYN-ACK, leaving the targeted system with half-open connections and unable to respond to legitimate traffic.
