I'm going with A. The three-way handshake is the perfect target for a SYN attack. It's like a virtual game of 'rock, paper, scissors, SYN!'

Paulina: Exactly. It ties up resources and can lead to denial of service.

User 3: So, the attacker sends a SYN packet and never completes the handshake?

Unilateral communication, baby! That's where the SYN attacker has all the power, while the poor server is just sitting there, waiting to get flooded.

I think it's A) Three-way handshake because SYN attack involves sending a SYN packet to initiate a connection but never completing the handshake.

Hmm, I'd say it's the transport layer communication. After all, that's where the SYN packets are flying around, isn't it?

The three-way handshake, of course! That's the heart of a SYN attack. Gotta love those protocol vulnerabilities, am I right?

The three-way handshake is definitely a vulnerability in TCP communications.
