You are monitoring your network's behavior. You find a sudden increase in traffic on the network. It seems to come in bursts and emanate from one specific machine. You have been able to determine that a user of that machine is unaware of the activity and lacks the computer knowledge required to be responsible for a computer attack. What attack might this indicate?
A sudden increase in traffic on the network, coming in bursts from one specific machine, suggests that the machine might be involved in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. In a DoS attack, the machine is typically used to flood a target with excessive traffic to overwhelm it, leading to a disruption of services. This type of activity would explain the observed network behavior.
