[All FCP_FWB_AD-7.4 Questions]

What are two possible impacts of a DoS attack on your web server? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

The web application is unable to accept any more connections because of network socket exhaustion: A Denial of Service (DoS) attack often floods the web server with an overwhelming number of requests, leading to network socket exhaustion. This can prevent the server from accepting new legitimate connections, effectively disrupting service.

The web application server is unable to accept new client sessions due to memory exhaustion: DoS attacks can consume a significant amount of server memory, causing memory exhaustion. This results in the web application being unable to accept new client sessions or handle requests properly.

Haha, I bet the correct answers are B and C. D is just silly, who would steal data during a DoS attack? They're just trying to bring the server down!

I'm pretty sure B and C are the correct answers. Exhausting the server's network and memory resources is a classic DoS attack strategy.

I agree with B and C. The web application would be overwhelmed and unable to handle any more requests, leading to a service disruption.

B and C seem like the most likely impacts of a DoS attack. The server's resources would become exhausted, preventing it from accepting new connections.
