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?

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.
