Common attack vectors include SYN floods (testing TCP connection establishment), UDP floods (testing UDP-based service handling), HTTP floods (testing web server capacity), and DNS amplification attacks. Test for these vectors using tools that generate traffic mimicking each type of attack. For example, `hping3` can be used for SYN floods, and tools that send UDP packets can test UDP floods. HTTP floods can be simulated with tools like `ApacheBench`.
