Network Attack Types

IP Vulnerabilities

When it comes to IPs, there’s lots of problems:

• No Source Authentication
  • Sender that says “I’m x, here’s y” could be an absolute lie lol.
• No Integrity Checking
  • All packets can be modified. Again, Man in the Middle attack applies here.
• No bandwidth constraints
  • Denial of Service accounts because a source could flood all of that.

Some Network Attack Types include:

• DDOS
• Wiretapping / Sniffing
• Spoofing
• Tampering

Defences:

• Network Segmentation
