Correct
Bluejacking involves an attacker sending data to a Bluetooth-enabled device without having to get through the pairing process, or perhaps the pairing happened without the receiver knowing about it.

10. Question
The purpose of a denial of service attack is to take an application out of service so legitimate users can’t use it. As users often interact with businesses through web applications, they are often the target of denial of service attacks. There are several types of denial of service attacks, one of which is the local area network denial (LAND) attack. Which of the following statements defines a LAND attack?
Correct
The local area network denial (LAND) attack sets the source and destination information of a TCP segment to be the same. This sends the segment into a loop in the operating system, as it is processed as an outbound, then an inbound, and so forth. This loop would lock up the system.
