Overview

The Internet protocol suite, also known as TCP/IP suite, is the foundation of the Internet. This suite provides various protocols that lie upon the Internet Protocol (IP) for end-to-end data communications. Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP protocols may have serious effects on the upper layer protocols and applications and can endanger communication and data security. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a core protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is a transport layer protocol that provides reliable end-to-end communication in computer networks. In this lab, we will learn TCP, analyze its vulnerability and exploit it through the TCP SYN flooding attack.
