The Blended Flood attack is a type of attack that combines multiple types of attacks on a server, aiming to overwhelm and confuse the system. It is characterized by its ability to bypass traditional security measures such as firewalls, switches, routers, or IPS devices, making it difficult to detect and mitigate. To mitigate Blended Flood attacks, it is recommended to keep the ntpd service up to date and restrict the 'moonlist' process. By ensuring that the network time protocol daemon (ntpd) is regularly updated and implementing restrictions on the 'moonlist' process, the system can be better protected against this type of attack.
