Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 175

Which form of attack is launched using botnets?

Answer options

• A. TCP flood
• B. DDOS
• C. DOS
• D. virus

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, DDOS, as it involves multiple compromised systems (botnets) overwhelming a target with traffic. A TCP flood is a specific type of attack that can be part of a DDOS, while DOS refers to a denial of service attack from a single source and a virus is a type of malware, not an attack method.
