Which of the following is not a denial-of-service attack?
A.
Teardrop
B.
Dictionary
C.
Smurf
D.
TCP Syn
Explanation:
Dictionary attacks are password-related attacks that can be categorized
as brute-force attacks as well. The other types are all geared to bring down a
service or attack a network’s availability.
The TCP syn is not an attack to start. It is a method that pen testers use to fingerprint a nodes on a network. I imagine that if flooded from different IP’s that it is possible to DDOS a system, but I can not see this being used as an attack vector.

When an attacker sends TCP SYN packets with spoofed IP addresses to the same destination, SYN-ACK responses are sent to the spoofed IP adresses. This uses up the resources of the target’s(victim)resources and could lead to denial of services for legitimate users if necessary security measures/thresholds are not in place to stop such DoS attacks.
