"A LAND attack involves IP packets where the source and destination address are set to address the same device."
In a LAND attack, the attacker sends infinite packets to the victim system from the victim system itself i.e spoofing the TCP SYN packet with the target host's IP address and using an open port as both source and destination.
The attack involves sending a spoofed TCP SYN packet with the target host's IP address and an open port as both source and destination. The same source and target address and port number crashes the victim system. The reason a LAND attack works is because it causes the machine to reply to itself continuously.
Other land attacks have since been found in services like SNMP and Windows 88/tcp (kerberos/global services) which were caused by design flaws where the devices accepted requests on the wire appearing to be from themselves and causing replies repeatedly.
