VLAN hopping is an attack that exploits misconfigured network switches to bypass segmentation controls. An attacker can use techniques like switch spoofing or double tagging to send traffic to a VLAN that their port is not assigned to, effectively hopping between isolated network segments. The other options describe different types of attacks: overwhelming a network with superfluous requests is a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, falsifying address resolution protocols is ARP poisoning, and tampering with domain name system settings is DNS spoofing.
