Help me understand a teardrop attack?
I am doing a cyber security project for college on a wireshark pcap file which has a short example of a teardrop attack. Can someone help me understand what Im looking at so I can understand exactly what is happening in this attack. Im looking for how the frame is extended and if you can explain how it should be if it was not altered. Thank you
here is the link to the pcap file to look at if you want to see (You need wire shark):
