A malicious actor uses multiple endpoints to target a single endpoint. Which of the following describes this threat?

An on-path attack refers to an attacker intercepting communication between two parties, often to eavesdrop or alter messages. While it involves multiple endpoints, the primary focus is on the interception rather than overwhelming a single target, which does not align with the characteristics of the described threat.

SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits vulnerabilities in an application's software by inserting malicious SQL code into a query. This type of attack typically targets databases rather than overwhelming a single endpoint with numerous requests, making it unrelated to the scenario described.

A brute-force attack involves systematically guessing passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. While it may use multiple attempts to compromise a single endpoint, it does not involve multiple endpoints collaborating to target one, which is the essence of the described threat.
