TCP/IP Protocol Exploits — Attacks and How to Safeguard By CyberDudeBivash — Global Threat Intel & Practical Defense
Executive summary TCP/IP is the foundation of networked systems worldwide. Attackers still exploit protocol weaknesses — not just application bugs — to perform DoS/DDoS, hijack sessions, intercept traffic, and poison routing. This CyberDudeBivash report explains the common TCP/IP-level attacks, real-world exploitation techniques, and step-by-step defenses (network, host, and operational) you can deploy now to reduce risk. Table of contents TCP/IP stack overview (quick) Common protocol-level attacks (with examples) Why protocol attacks are still effective Detection & hunting (SIEM + network) Practical safeguards (network, host, application) Hardening recipes — Linux & Windows examples IDS/IPS / signature & behavior detections (Snort, Suricata, Zeek) DDoS & volumetric mitigation (cloud + on-prem) Routing security: BGP, RPKI & best practices Incident response checklist for protocol attacks Testing & red team / validation ti...
