Distributed Denial of Service - A major DNS provider was hit by an attack that took down popular services like Twitter and Netflix. The attack was launched using a network of compromised IoT devices, which flooded the provider with massive amounts of requests, causing widespread outages across the internet., Denial of Service - A vulnerability in Windows 95 allowed attackers to send a specific type of out-of-band data to port 139. When this malicious data was received, the system crashed immediately, displaying the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), making the computer unusable until restarted., Session Hijacking - Users browsing the internet on a public Wi-Fi network became victims of an attack. A hacker nearby was able to intercept and read their login cookies, allowing them to hijack active web sessions. Without the need for a password, the attacker could access the victim’s accounts as if they were the legitimate user., ICMP Attack - A hacker sent ICMP packets (pings) with a fake sender address to a broadcast network, tricking multiple devices into responding at once. All the responses were sent to the victim’s real IP address, overwhelming their system with an avalanche of traffic, causing it to slow down or crash., Man in the Middle - A cybercriminal manipulated traffic between users and a website by exploiting a vulnerability in popular home routers. Victims thought they were securely browsing the internet, but in reality, the attacker was secretly intercepting and modifying their communications, potentially stealing sensitive data such as passwords and credit card numbers., Address Spoofing - Attackers forged (spoofed) the source address in packets sent to DNS servers, causing them to send massive amounts of traffic to an unsuspecting victim. This technique, known as a reflection attack, amplified the attack’s strength, reaching peaks of 300 Gbps—one of the largest recorded at the time.,
