The correct answer is D. Implement cognitive radios in the physical layer. Cognitive radios can sense the environment, sense other RF devices' signals, and use different frequencies in response to the sensing results.

Question

Mike, a security engineer, was recently hired by BigFox Ltd. The company recently experienced disastrous DoS attacks. The management had instructed Mike to build defensive strategies for the company's IT infrastructure to thwart DoS/DDoS attacks. Mike deployed some countermeasures to handle jamming and scrambling attacks. What is the countermeasure Mike applied to defend against jamming and scrambling attacks?

Options

  • AAllow the transmission of all types of addressed packets at the ISP level
  • BDisable TCP SYN cookie protection
  • CAllow the usage of functions such as gets and strcpy
  • DImplement cognitive radios in the physical layer

Explanation

Cognitive radios can sense the environment, sense other RF devices' signals, and use different frequencies in response to the sensing results. This makes the device very flexible in terms of being able to adjust to different environments and also to be able to detect and evade jamming or scrambling attacks. By deploying cognitive radios, Mike can mitigate the effects of DoS/DDoS attacks that use jamming or scrambling techniques.
