Guys, come on. It's obviously the three-way handshake. That's TCP 101, and the SYN attack is all about disrupting that process.

I think Abraham's on to something. The SYN attack is more about exploiting the connection-oriented nature of TCP, not just the handshake specifically.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Isn't it more about the transport layer communication in general? The SYN attack can target various aspects of TCP, not just the handshake.

I agree with Kristofer. The SYN attack takes advantage of the initial SYN packet sent during the handshake. It's a classic network-level vulnerability.

Definitely the three-way handshake. That's the core of how TCP establishes a connection, and the SYN attack exploits that process.

Ah, the old SYN attack! This takes me back to my network security course. I remember the professor drilling us on this one.
