A DDoS using a LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) reflection attack is a type of distributed denial of service attack that uses LDAP queries to amplify the amount of data sent to a targeted server. The attacker spoofs the source IP of the LDAP query to the targeted server, causing the targeted server to respond to the query. The response is sent back to the spoofed source IP address, which is actually the attacker’s IP address. By doing this, the attacker is able to amplify the amount of data sent to the targeted server, overwhelming it with traffic and causing a denial of service.
