Even for special security engineers, this attack is really hard to defend. Because this attack focuses on the services. As we know, in this digital era everything was connected by the internet. So, when the service is down. It means, our device is no more than trash (If we don’t have things that can be accessed offline).

For flooding occurs when the system receives too much traffic so the services become down and for crashing means as you think about it.

ARP is a protocol that enables the network to reach a specific device on the network. ARP translates Internet…
