Disabling Network Hardware
Detailed Hardware
Parents: 582
Threats: T23 T63 T67 T264 T267 T269 T308 T311
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.
