Which choice lists both attack types recorded in a packet capture?

In the context of analyzing network traffic through packet captures, it is important to recognize the nature of the two types of attacks listed in the correct choice. A SYN flood attack is a common form of denial-of-service (DoS) attack that overwhelms a server by sending numerous SYN requests without completing the handshake process, effectively consuming server resources and rendering it unable to respond to legitimate traffic. Meanwhile, a spoofing attack involves masquerading as another device or user by falsifying data, which can also be evident in packet captures as the source IP address or MAC address appears different from what should be expected in a legitimate context.

Both these attack types exhibit distinct characteristics that can be identified in packet captures: SYN floods generate abnormal traffic patterns and high volumes of SYN packets, while spoofing attacks may show discrepancies in packet headers. By capturing packets during these attacks, security analysts can observe and analyze these behaviors and patterns, making this choice an accurate representation of what can be recorded in packet captures.

Other options either include attack types that do not typically manifest in easily identifiable ways through packet captures or focus on attacks that are less relevant to the analysis of network packets in this specific context. Understanding the attack mechanisms and their implications in network traffic is essential for effective security monitoring and
