A Survey of Vulnerability and Attacks

• TCP/IP Attack

• Taking advantage of the way Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) works, may lead to a variety of attacks such as:

• Session Hijacking

  • Whenever a user assumes control of a network session or connection (desynchronization).

• Denial of Service (DoS)

  • Any activity which prevents the normal use of system and network resources such as those services listed in /etc/inetd.conf
