Connection Reset

Description

In this attack pattern, an adversary injects a connection reset packet to one or both ends of a target's connection. The attacker is therefore able to have the target and/or the destination server sever the connection without having to directly filter the traffic between them.

Prerequisites

This attack requires the ability to monitor the target's network connection.
