A Syn flood attack is a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack in which an attacker sends a succession of SYN requests to a target’s system in an attempt to consume enough server resources to make the system unresponsive to legitimate traffic. The attacker typically spoofs the source IP address of the SYN packets so that the target system is unable to determine the true source of the attack.
