Academics have discovered a new variation of the network loop attack that can crash servers by putting them in an infinite loop of data exchange.
The new attack is named Loop DoS and was discovered by Yepeng Pan and Professor Dr. Christian Rossow from the CISPA German research institute.
It is a variation of classic network loops but one that takes place at the application layer instead of the network routing level.
