Explanation / Answer

Ping Flood - An attack that uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to flood a victim with packets.

Command Injection - Injecting and executing commands to execute on a server.

Session Token - A form of verification used when accessing a secure Web application.

Smurf Attack - An attack that broadcasts a ping request to all computers on the network yet changes the address from which the request came to that of the target.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) - An attack that injects scripts into a Web application server to direct attacks at clients.

ARP Poisoning - An attack that corrupts the ARP cache.

Flash cookies - A cookie named after the Adobe Flash player. Also known as local shared objects (LSO's).

DNS Poisoning - An attack that substitutes DNS addresses so that the computer is automatically redirected to another device.

ARP -  is used to discover the MAC address of a client based on its IP address

Buffer Overflow Attack - An attack that occurs when a process attempts to store data in RAM beyond the boundaries of a fixed-length storage buffer.
