Best Answer

In a Teardrop attack, the attacker floods the target machine with packets that either lack sound order or self-coherence, or have content designed to confuse computers, routers, firewalls or some service present on the network. This may include sending fragments with overlapping, over-sized payloads to the target machine. Depending on how the system is set up, this can crash the operating system for the computer or crash an application due to a bug in the TCP/IP fragmentation reassemply code. Several older Windows operating systems are quite vulnerable to these attacks as are some olver versions of Linux. The attacker may use this method to degrade services, completely shut down a network, or as a probing tool to watch how the system administrator responds when different devices are crashed or to see what services appear during restoration of services.

What does a black teardrop tattoo symbolize?

The meaning of the black teardrop can be too things! 1. It could mean that you have talking someones lives, or in other words, You have killed a person. 2. The other meaning is that you have lost one the you really loved. This is originally a prison tattoo (circa 1920, I may be wrong) it generally shows that time has been served and it was a sorrowful time. It has also been used to commemorate a loved one who has died while the prisoner served time or even to symbolise the number of people that a person might have killed. If the teardrop tattoo is just in the form of an outline, it implies that a friend of the wearer was killed. If a teardrop tattoo is coloured inside the outline it represents that the wearer's friend has been killed and the wearer has taken revenge of his friend's death. An empty tear thus symbolizes that a loved one has been killed or the wearer has successfully shot someone else. A filled teardrop tattoo represents that a loved one has committed suicide or was killed by some cause other than a murder. It could be an accident or a death penalty. A teardrop tattoo on face with an empty top and a full bottom symbolizes that the wearer has taken a revenge of the murder of a loved one. An empty teardrop tattoo on face also symbolizes a person's time served in prison, which is usually a year at least. Teardrop tattoo can also be inked as a remembrance of a loved one who passed away while the wearer was incarcerated NEVER undertake a tattoo like this without knowing it's true nature please as you never know who you may meet who may get the wrong idea or impression about you .
