C and D are correct A UDP flood is a type of denial-of-service attack in which a large number of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets are sent to a targeted server with the aim of overwhelming that device’s ability to process and respond. A Ping of death (PoD) attack is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, in which the attacker aims to disrupt a targeted machine by sending a packet larger than the maximum allowable size, causing the target machine to freeze or crash. https://www.cloudflare.com/pt-br/learning/ddos/udp-flood-ddos-attack/ https://www.cloudflare.com/pt-br/learning/ddos/ping-of-death-ddos-attack/

Agree, because UDP flooding is used for reflected or amplifications DoS attacks (DDoS), for example using protocolos DNS, NTP.

Selected Answer: CD
The two denial of service attacks are: C. Ping of death: This is a type of denial of service attack where an attacker sends a ping packet that is larger than the maximum size allowed by the IP protocol. When the target system receives this oversized packet, it can crash or become unresponsive. This type of attack exploits a vulnerability in the target system's network stack and can affect a wide range of systems. D. UDP flooding: This is a type of denial of service attack where an attacker floods a target system with a large number of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. The target system becomes overwhelmed with the flood of incoming packets, and as a result, legitimate traffic cannot get through. This type of attack can be particularly effective against applications that rely heavily on UDP traffic, such as online gaming or VoIP applications.

Correct Answer: Ping of Death and UDP Flooding - Code Red was initially written to deface the infected computer’s Web site and to perform a "Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack" against the numerical Internet address used by www.whitehouse.gov. - Two subsequent versions of Code Red do not deface Web pages but still launch the DDoS attack. Explanation: The question only asks DOS Attack and not DDOS Attack.

I think that you have answered to my doubts. I was on CD and now I realize it is CE - thank you! The idea is the UDP Flood is a DDOS. A pure DOS will crash a service through a flaw in that service so both PoD and CR were exactly what they were doing. I remember the days of Windows 98 when a ICMP with big size was generating a blue screen.......

C and D. The question does not state "Distributed" DoS, just DoS. Code Red is a DDoS attack, where as ping of death and UDP floods can be just DoS attacks.

Ping of death and UDP flooding are some of the many DoS attack types while Code Red was a computer worm observed on the internet in the year 2001. So C and D are correct

Code Red is a worm that was discovered on 13 July 2001. It is famously known for its (DDoS) Denial of Service attack on the USA White house web server and for its famous “Hacked by Chinese” signature. The virus targeted computers with Microsoft IIS Web installed particularly the Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems. source: www.computersdemystified.com/code-red-virus/
