Attack Patterns CAPEC-583 — Disabling Network Hardware
CAPEC-583

Disabling Network Hardware

TLP:CLEAR

Description

In this attack pattern, an adversary physically disables networking hardware by powering it down or disconnecting critical equipment. Disabling or shutting off critical system resources prevents them from performing their service as intended, which can have direct and indirect consequences on other systems. This attack pattern is considerably less technical than the selective blocking used in most obstruction attacks.

Mitigation

Ensure rigorous physical defensive measures to keep the adversary from accessing critical systems..
