A Local Area Network Denial (LAND) Attacker Sends a SYN

question 132

True/False

A Local Area Network Denial (LAND) attacker sends a SYN packet in which the source and destination addresses are the same as the target host's address and the source port is the same as the destination port. While the receiver waits for the final ACK packet from the sender, the connection is in half-connected mode, which wastes limited TCP resources at the receive end.
