Land Attack
Scan SYNFIN
Xmascan
The attacker sends a specific fake SYN (synchronous) packet to the destination
host. Because both of the source IP address and the destination IP address of
the SYN packet are set to be the IP address of the host, the host will be trapped
in an endless circle of building the initial connection.
The attacker sends the packet with its SYN field and the FIN field set to 1. The
SYN field is used to request initial connection whereas the FIN field is used to
request disconnection. Therefore, the packet of this type is illegal.
The attacker sends the illegal packet with its TCP index, FIN, URG and PSH field
set to 1.
