Haha, the 'HTTP plain text transmission' option is a real knee-slapper. I mean, how is that Leilan related to a SYN flood attack? Gotta love these exam questions.

C) TCP 3-way handshake. Easy peasy. Though I do wonder if the exam writer was feeling a bit punchy when they came up with those other choices. 'UDP stateless connection'? Really?

Hmm, let's see... TCP 3-way handshake? Yeah, that sounds about right. I bet the exam writer thought they were being clever with those other options.

TCP 3-way handshake, obviously. This is a classic networking question. *yawns* Wake me up when they ask something more challenging.

That's correct. The attacker floods the server with SYN requests, causing it to run out of resources and become unresponsive.

The SYN flood attack exploits the TCP 3-way handshake, which is the correct answer. I'm not falling for those other distractors!

I think the SYN flood attack uses the TCP 3 times hands shake design flaw.
