== 7. Limitations and Risks == UDP is powerful due to its simplicity, but comes with trade-offs: ; No reliability : Applications must handle their own error checking and retransmission if needed. ; Vulnerable to spoofing : Without handshakes or state tracking, it's easier to spoof UDP packets. ; Used in amplification attacks : Some UDP services respond with more data than they receive (e.g., DNS), making them targets for DDoS amplification.
