Which of the following is an attack in which the user receives unwanted amount of e-mails? A. Spoofing B. Smurfing C. Email bomb D. Ping storm

Spoofing
Smurfing
Email bomb
Ping storm

The correct answer is C. Email bomb.

An email bomb is an attack in which the user receives an excessive amount of unwanted emails. This can be done by sending a large number of emails to a single address, or by sending a large number of emails to multiple addresses. Email bombs can be used to disrupt a user’s email service, or to overwhelm a server with so much traffic that it crashes.

Spoofing is a technique used to send emails that appear to come from a different sender than the actual sender. This can be done by forging the sender’s email address or by using a fake domain name. Spoofing is often used in phishing attacks, where the attacker tries to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment.

Smurf attack is a type of denial-of-service attack in which the attacker sends a large number of ICMP echo requests (pings) to a broadcast address. The host that receives the pings will then reply to each ping, which will cause the attacker’s computer to receive a large number of replies. This can overwhelm the attacker’s computer and cause it to crash.

Ping storm is a type of denial-of-service attack in which the attacker sends a large number of ICMP echo requests (pings) to a single IP address. This can cause the target computer to become overloaded and crash.
