By the end of this section, you will be able to:
● Understand the concept and mechanism of a LAND attack.
● Execute a LAND attack from Kali-Attacker to Web-SRV2 (IP: 192.168.1.7).
● Observe the impact of the attack on the victim machine’s network stack.
In this exercise, you will explore:
● The nature of a LAND attack, where a packet is sent with the same source and destination IP and port, causing confusion in the target’s TCP/IP stack.
● How to craft such packets using tools.
● How to target Web-SRV2 and monitor its behavior (e.g., freezing, crashing, or becoming unresponsive).
