A malicious attacker sends a large number of SYNC segments to a server

1.	A malicious attacker sends a large number of SYNC segments to a server, pretending that each of them is coming from a different client by faking the source IP address in the datagram. Which type of attack is being performed in this situation?(a) SYNC flooding attack(b) Active attack(c) Passive attack(d) Denial-of-service attackI had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from TCP-2 topic in chapter Transport Layer of Computer Network
Answer» Right choice is (a) SYNC flooding attack To explain I would say: SYNC flooding attack is a FORM of Denial of Service attack. Due to the overflow of SYNC SEGMENTS sent to the server, the victims are not ABLE to request for a connection to the server, thus resulting in Denial of Service.
