N10-009 - Network Security - Section 4.2

Summarise common network attacks and their impact, including DoS/DDoS, on-path, spoofing, VLAN hopping, and social engineering.

Summarise the attack types a network defender must recognise: denial-of-service and distributed DoS, on-path (man-in-the-middle), ARP and DNS spoofing/poisoning, MAC flooding, VLAN hopping, and rogue access points. Match each attack to its impact and the layer it targets, and distinguish technical attacks from social-engineering techniques such as phishing and tailgating.
