Example for "amplification attack alone"? #19

Closed boaks closed 1 year ago

boaks commented 2 years ago

An amplification attack alone can be a denial-of-service attack on a CoAP server by making it send a large amount of data.

Really? Sorry, any server for any protocol must protect it self from overloading. Using that example would convert any HTTP server in a "victim". There we send 1k to read pictures of 200k.

(Due to lack of owner rights I could not transfer this repository and instead had to make a new one, I will manually create new issues there for any open issues).
