A) Three-way handshake is the way to go. I mean, what else would a SYN attack target? It's like the foundation of TCP, you can't just ignore that.

B) Unilateral communication? Really? I thought TCP was all about the back-and-forth of the three-way handshake. Looks like someone needs to brush up on their networking basics.

Haha, D) Connectionless oriented communication? No way, that's the complete opposite of how TCP works. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that one.

I was a bit confused at first, but C) Transport layer communication makes the most sense. SYN attacks happen at the protocol level, not the application layer.

That makes sense, SYN attacks do target the transport layer

I disagree, I believe it's A because SYN attacks exploit the TCP handshake process

I think it's A too, because SYN attacks target the initial connection setup

The three-way handshake definitely seems like the correct answer here. That's the core of how TCP establishes connections and a SYN attack targets that process.
