A security analyst has been asked to perform penetration testing against a web application being deployed for the first time. When performing the test the
application stops responding and returns an error referring to failed database connections. Upon further investigation, the analyst finds the database server was
inundated with commits which exhausted available space on the volume. Which of the following has been performed against the database server?
A.
DoS
B.
SQL injection
C.
SYN flood
D.
DDoS
E.
Cross-site scripting
DoS makes your servers so busy responding to false requests that they don’t have time to service legitimate requests.
