What is Head Drop?

Understanding Head Drop

Head Drop is a type of cyber attack where an attacker intentionally stops sending packets to a target system after the TCP handshake is complete, disrupting the normal TCP connection establishment process. This can cause the targeted system to drop the connection, leading to potential service disruption or denial of service.
