Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 305

In which IoT attack does the attacker use multiple forged identities to create a strong illusion of traffic congestion, affecting communication between neighboring nodes and networks?

Answer options

• A. Blueborne attack
• B. Replay attack
• C. Sybil attack
• D. Jamming attack

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Sybil attack is characterized by the attacker creating multiple identities to manipulate the network's perception of traffic. This can lead to disrupted communication between nodes, making it the correct answer. The Blueborne attack, Replay attack, and Jamming attack do not involve the creation of multiple identities to simulate traffic congestion.
