Which type of attack uses a botnet to reflect requests off of an NTP server to overwhelm a target?
Correct Answer: C
* A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack involves multiple compromised devices (botnet) sending a large number of requests to a target server to overwhelm it. * In a specific type of DDoS attack known as an NTP amplification attack, the attacker exploits the Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers by sending small queries with a spoofed source IP address (the target's IP). * The NTP server responds with a much larger reply to the target's IP address, thereby amplifying the traffic directed at the target. * This reflection and amplification technique significantly increases the volume of traffic sent to the target, causing denial of service.
