Studying Cisco track and was going over some Denial of Service attacks and such. Majority have to do with overwhelming the hard ware with packets or traffic. That sounds like alot of work....
Was thinking what would happen if you make a 110V outlet into a RJ45 cable with a capacitor. (Not an electrician so not sure if capacitor is exactly what im thinking of, something like a battery that stores up a charge and releases it) So you would plug it into outlet and then into a switch. Would the switch burn up and create a denial of service?
Besides a fire hazard does this work? How do you protect against this?
This idea came about when users used to plug their own illegal switches/routers into the network and they were very difficult to track down. So the joke came around that we would just fry the devices from the patch panel.
