A company's website suddenly experiences an inordinate amount of traffic, causing it to respond exceedingly slowly or go offline entirely. What type of attack is most likely occurring?
Rogue AP
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack
MAC flooding
ARP poisoning
A Denial-of-Service attack is intended to make a server or network resource unavailable to users, typically by overwhelming it with excessive requests until it can no longer respond effectively. The sudden spike in traffic and degradation of service mentioned in the scenario is characteristic of a DoS attack. ARP poisoning, also a security threat, typically affects data integrity by redirecting network traffic, irrelevant to the symptoms described as excessive traffic. MAC flooding aims at saturating the switch's MAC address table to cause traffic to be broadcasted out, still not in line with the symptoms mentioned. Finally, Rogue AP deals with unauthorized access points in the network and does not directly cause excessive traffic to legitimate services.
