CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 687

Which of the following kinds of targeted attacks uses multiple computers or bots to request the same resource repeatedly?

Answer options

• A. On-path
• B. DDoS
• C. ARP spoofing
• D. MAC flooding

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, DDoS, which stands for Distributed Denial of Service. This attack type leverages multiple compromised systems to overwhelm a target resource with requests, causing it to become unavailable. The other options, such as On-path, ARP spoofing, and MAC flooding, involve different attack methodologies and do not specifically utilize multiple computers for repetitive requests.
