Nah, this sounds like a good old-fashioned DoS attack to me. The attacker just wants to make sure no one else can use the network. Gotta love the creativity of these hackers, huh?

I'm not sure, could it be a reconnaissance attack? The attacker might be trying to gather information about the network first before launching a bigger attack.

Ah, a classic DoS attack. The attacker is trying to overwhelm the network and prevent legitimate users from accessing the services they need. Mark's using the right tools to mitigate it.

Hmm, I think the attacker's intentions here are pretty clear - they're trying to launch a DoS attack to disrupt the network services. The wired IDS/IPS sensors are a good defense against that.
