Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers are widely used to authenticate users in
enterprise level networks. Organizations such as universities and small to medium-sized businesses
use LDAP for a variety of applications including E-mail clients, SSH, and workstation authentication.
Since many organizations build dependencies on the LDAP service, a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack
to the service can cause a greater number of services disrupted. This paper examines the danger in
the use of LDAP for user authentication by executing a DoS attack exploiting the TCP three-way
handshake required when initializing a connection to an LDAP server.
