PUSH and ACK floods
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2024) |
PUSH floods and ACK floods are denial of service attacks based on the PSH and ACK flags.
Since these flags require additional processing it may be possible to overwhelm a service by setting these flags on numerous requests.
Mitigation
[edit]Proxy filters may drop appropriate packets with these flags set when the system is considered to be under attack.[1][failed verification]
