\ud83c\udf0a<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>UDP flood attack<\/strong> is like a tsunami hitting your network. The attacker sends a large number of <strong>UDP (User Datagram Protocol)<\/strong> packets to random ports on the target. Since UDP doesn\u2019t require a connection handshake, the target becomes overwhelmed trying to process all those packets. The server tries to check for applications on those ports, and the flood continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_UDP_Work_%F0%9F%93%A8\"><\/span>How Does UDP Work? \ud83d\udce8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, UDP&#8230; it\u2019s a protocol, right? It sends packets without establishing a connection. Unlike <strong>TCP<\/strong>, where a connection is formed, UDP just sends. This makes it great for applications that need speed, like gaming or video streaming. But there\u2019s a catch\u2014it\u2019s vulnerable to attack. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UDP is simple. It sends a packet and forgets about it. No confirmation is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_UDP_Vulnerable_to_Flood_Attacks_%F0%9F%92%A5\"><\/span>Why is UDP Vulnerable to Flood Attacks? \ud83d\udca5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UDP doesn\u2019t ask if the data was received. No confirmation or control\u2014so an attacker can send packets as fast as possible. Your target&#8217;s system gets overwhelmed, dealing with all that traffic, leading to slowdowns or even crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s like dumping water on a fire. \ud83d\udd25 Except in this case, the fire is your network trying to keep up with the flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Impact_of_a_UDP_Flood_Attack_%F0%9F%94%A5\"><\/span>The Impact of a UDP Flood Attack \ud83d\udd25<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real-World_Examples_%F0%9F%8F%99%EF%B8%8F\"><\/span>Real-World Examples \ud83c\udfd9\ufe0f<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>2016<\/strong>, the <strong>Mirai botnet<\/strong> launched massive DDoS attacks using UDP floods. Websites like <strong>Twitter<\/strong> and <strong>Netflix<\/strong> went down because their servers couldn\u2019t handle the traffic. That\u2019s the power of a UDP flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Damage_It_Can_Cause_%F0%9F%92%BB\"><\/span>The Damage It Can Cause \ud83d\udcbb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine your entire website goes offline because it&#8217;s getting hit with millions of packets per second. Not just that, but any service running on UDP\u2014like <strong>DNS<\/strong> or <strong>VoIP<\/strong>\u2014can be knocked out. Even if your network is fast, if it gets hit by a UDP flood, it\u2019s gonna struggle. \ud83c\udf10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction_to_hping3_%F0%9F%94%A7\"><\/span>Introduction to hping3 \ud83d\udd27<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_hping3_%F0%9F%9B%A0%EF%B8%8F\"><\/span>What is hping3? \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>hping3<\/strong> is a command-line tool used for crafting custom network packets.
