SYN Flood Attack Simulation & Defense Mechanism

Designed and implemented a SYN Flood Attack simulation to analyze how Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks exploit vulnerabilities in TCP’s three-way handshake. The project includes: Python-based TCP Server to act as a victim. SYN Flood Attack Script using scapy to generate spoofed SYN requests. Network Traffic Analysis using tcpdump, netstat, and Wireshark. Defense Mechanisms (Coming Soon): SYN Cookies, Rate Limiting, and Intrusion Detection.
