-- DoS (Denial of Service)

The aim is to overcharge a component  or a service of the system to make it collapse and therefore deny that service, for example the hard disk, processes, sessions, e-mail, http server. It can be put in action on the different levels of  TCP/IP model:

  • At the transport level: flooding of TCP SYN packets
  • At IP level: sending IP fragments without finishing the datagram
  • At application level: flooding of e-mail or http requests (es. MyDoom-A, attack to the Cisco e-mail server)
