CEH v12: DoS, DDoS, Volumetric, and Protocol Attacks

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks can be very disruptive to an organization both monetarily and reputationally. In this course, you'll explore denial-of-service and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, as well as common DoS techniques and categories and common tools used to perform them. Next, you'll examine volumetric DoS attacks, which are one of the more common types deployed by attackers. These include UDP flood, Ping of Death, Smurf, and Pulse Wave. Finally, you'll learn about protocol-based DoS attacks, including SYN floods, ACK floods, and fragmentation attacks. This course is one in a series that helps to prepare you for the Certified Ethical Hacker v12 (312-50) exam.
