Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: DCHP starvation attacks are launched by an attacker with the intent to create a DoS for DHCP clients.
Detailed explanation-2: -After these IP addresses are assigned, the server cannot assign any more addresses, and this situation results in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack because new clients cannot gain network access. The attacker sends a series of DHCP DISCOVER requests.
Detailed explanation-3: -DHCP starvation attack is an attack that targets DHCP servers whereby forged DHCP requests are crafted by an attacker with the intent of exhausting all available IP addresses that can be allocated by the DHCP server. Under this attack, legitimate network users can be denied service.
