Which two attacks can be caused by a rogue DHCP server? (Choose two.)

  • Trojan virus
  • Compromised-Key
  • DoS
  • TCP SYN flood
  • MITM
Explanation & Hint:

Two attacks that can be caused by a rogue DHCP server are:

  1. DoS (Denial of Service)
    • A rogue DHCP server can issue incorrect IP configurations or exhaust the IP address space of a legitimate DHCP server, preventing legitimate network clients from obtaining the correct IP configuration and thus denying them service.
  2. MITM (Man-in-the-Middle)
    • By posing as a legitimate DHCP server, a rogue server can provide false IP configurations, including DNS and default gateway settings, to direct a client’s traffic through an attacker-controlled device. This allows the attacker to intercept, monitor, or alter the client’s network traffic.
