A.
True

B.
False

Explanation:

: This is true, the SYN flood attack never completes the third step of the 3 way TCP handshake, it
never sends the ACK, this makes the attacked server to allocate memory to connections that will
never be completed, with thousands of this uncompleted connections the protocol stack at the
server gets and overflow and crash the O.S. The SYN Flood is considered a DoS attack, it can be
used in conjunction of other attacks like IP spoofing.
