SYN Flood, or SYN Attack
What is a SYN flood?
A SYN flood is a type of DoS attack implemented at the TCP protocol level. During the attack, a victim node is overloaded by a large amount of SYN TCP segments being sent to it. Usually, a node is unable to handle more than several thousands of the segments at once. Attacks of this kind are highly efficient.
