Answer:

Phlashing

Explanation:

  • This type of DoS ( denial-of-service ) Attacks are called Phlashing.
  • It is permanent and irreversible damage to the system devices, hardware equipment and networks. So, it is rightly called " bricking the system " method.
  • The attacker sends fraudulent hardware updates to the devices causing the damage.
  • Earlier, phlashing is considered theoretical but now it is practically implemented by attackers and causing the damage.
  • The attacked devices are damaged permanently and cannot be reused, they must be replaced with new hardware.
  • So, option (c) is correct.
  • ICMP Flood Attack refers to flood of pings on the victim. So, option (a) is false.
  • Application Level flood attacks are the attacks at the application layer. These are two types (1) HTTP Flood and (2) Slowloris Attack. So, option (b) is false.
  • Bandwidth Attacks - As the name suggests the attacks are happening through the bandwidth ( traffic overload ) on the infrastructure.So, option (d) is false.
