Landing attack LAND Attack

Landing attack LAND Attack is also a denial of service attack DOS. LAND is the abbreviation of Local Area Network Denial, which means LAN denial of service attack, which is translated as landing attack is just a misunderstanding. The attack principle is that the attack plane sends a TCP packet of SYN to the target machine, and the source address in the packet is forged as the address of the target machine. When the target receives the packet, it sends itself a TCP packet of SYN+ACK. The target then sends itself an ACK packet so that it establishes an empty connection with itself. This empty connection will continue until it times out. When the target machine is deceived by such a large number, establish a large number of empty connections, consume a lot of system resources, resulting in slow operation of the system, or even collapse. The flaw exists in many early systems, such as Windows XP/2003.

Many tools provided by Kali Linux can realize the function of counterfeiting packets, such as hping3.

Defense measures: through firewalls and routing devices, establish rules and discard SYN and SYN+ACK TCP with the same source address and destination address.
