Description: This video gives the detail of different network layer attack. It mainly covers Dos attack and try to explain it from very basic. Also some code is used to simulate the attack and proper explanation of code is done. If attack is performed on application layer it may be very difficult to find it, but normally these days network attack is performed on transport layer. The main purpose of this attack is to consume the channel bandwidth and slow the memory of processor. The objective of the video is to learn how to use network as an attack vector. The main three type of attack is : Tcp syn flood, http slowris, http slow post. Tcp syn flood is very old technique so modern systems are immune to it. At the same time Layer 7 (Application layer ) attack is difficult to find and also difficult to protest against it.

Author has explained the code also. good stuff.
Why layer 7 attack is difficult to find and also protest??
