A user has a device in the network that is receiving too many connection requests from multiple machines. Which type of attack is the device undergoing?

A SYN flood is a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack where an attacker sends a high volume of TCP SYN packets to a target server, initiating numerous half-open connections. This rapid consumption of server resources, such as connection tables, prevents legitimate users from establishing connections and causes the device to receive too many requests.

Slowloris is a different type of DoS attack that uses minimal bandwidth by keeping a few connections open for as long as possible, rather than sending an excessive number of new connection requests simultaneously.

Pharming is a cyberattack that redirects users from legitimate websites to malicious ones without their knowledge, primarily by manipulating DNS resolution, and does not involve overwhelming a device with connection requests.

Phishing is a social engineering attack that attempts to trick users into revealing sensitive information through deceptive communication, not by flooding a device with connection requests.
