Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A necessity attack, also known as a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, aims to disrupt normal computer processing or denies processing entirely. This can be accomplished by overwhelming the system with traffic or sending malformed packets that cause the targeted system to crash or become unusable. Both integrity and secrecy attacks aim to manipulate or expose data, while a man-in-the-middle attack involves intercepting and altering communication between two parties.
