DNS typically uses UDP for its requests and responses. The key factor here is the use of UDP on port 53, which suggests A DNS flood is a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack where attackers flood a DNS server with a large number of requests, overwhelming the server and potentially making it unable to respond to legitimate queries. In this case, the use of UDP traffic to port 53 could indicate a potential DNS
