Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

An ecommerce company's 1 Gbps internet uplink is being saturated by a 200 Gbps UDP amplification attack. Their edge routers support BGP and can advertise their /24 prefix to external peers, but they have no on-premise hardware capable of filtering hundreds of gigabits. Which mitigation approach will restore availability fastest while keeping legitimate traffic flowing?

  • Apply connection-rate limiting rules with iptables on every web server in the pool

  • Activate TCP SYN cookies on the perimeter firewalls handling the site

  • Trigger a discard route using RTBH so upstream routers drop all packets to the /24

  • Announce the /24 via BGP to a cloud-based scrubbing center that tunnels back only filtered traffic
