NETWORK THREATS

DDoS ATTACK TYPES


ACROSS NETWORK LAYERS
OF THE OSI MODEL
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack attempts to deny a user access to a network
resource or service. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack originates
from multiple sources, making it far more difficult to defend.

Here, a range of attack types are mapped


against the layers in the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) model.

SYN Flood

UDP Flood

Other TCP Floods


(Spoofed and non-Spoofed)

TCP Connection
Exhaustion

IPSec Flood (IKE/
