(a)Describe in detail how the Smurf attack overcomes the shortcomings of the Syn flood attack.
(b)We discussed different types of IP-layer attacks on traffic as it traverses the network, such as Wiretapping, Spoofing, Tampering, and DoS. Give a description of each of the 4 attacks named above and provide at least 3 reasons for what renders these attacks possible. Assume that no protections are in place to mitigate these named attacks.
(c)Describe how Mix networks differ from Tor in terms of the kind of adversary they protect against, their performance differences, and what, if any, role dummy messages play in either.
(d)Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks often use the bandwidth of unsuspecting computers on the Internet to drive traffic to victim machines on the Internet. Imagine you are such an adversary and want to deploy a DDoS attack against some victim machine.
i) Explain how and why you would use network broadcast addresses in your attack.
ii) Explain how and why you would use address spoofing for your attack
(e) we discussed different types of attacks on traffic as it traverses the network. List and describe the 5 different types of network attacks. Be clear on what the adversary does to achieve these attacks and the effect on the data (in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability).
