Fortinet Exam FCP_FWB_AD-7.4 Topic 2 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCP_FWB_AD-7.4 exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 2
[All FCP_FWB_AD-7.4 Questions]

What are two possible impacts of a DoS attack on your web server? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

The web application is unable to accept any more connections because of network socket exhaustion: A Denial of Service (DoS) attack often floods the web server with an overwhelming number of requests, leading to network socket exhaustion. This can prevent the server from accepting new legitimate connections, effectively disrupting service.

The web application server is unable to accept new client sessions due to memory exhaustion: DoS attacks can consume a significant amount of server memory, causing memory exhaustion. This results in the web application being unable to accept new client sessions or handle requests properly.

B and C make total sense. The web app wouldn't be able to handle all the incoming traffic and would eventually crash. Unencrypted traffic? What is this, amateur hour?

Haha, I bet the correct answers are B and C. D is just silly, who would steal data during a DoS attack? They're just trying to bring the server down!

Yeah, D does seem unlikely during a DoS attack. It's more about overwhelming the server.

I'm pretty sure B and C are the correct answers. Exhausting the server's network and memory resources is a classic DoS attack strategy.

B and C seem like the most likely impacts of a DoS attack. The server's resources would become exhausted, preventing it from accepting new connections.
