Network analyzers provide significant information inside and outside of the firewall. A large amount of inbound traffic from unknown hosts could be an indication of which of the following?
Bad internet usage habits
Reconnaissance probes
Targeted attacks on specific applications
Hidden servers
The correct response is Reconnaissance probes. Such traffic could be generated by port scanning and vulnerability assessment tools. EDIT: A large amount of inbound traffic couldn't also be a targeted attack on specific applications? The most common DDoS attack is volumetric, which is what this describes. Comment: Or even hidden server where data from other intrusions are being stored. Poorly worded question. DDoS would be a targeted attack!
