The PSH (Push) flag in TCP instructs the sending system to:

Immediately deliver data to the application.

Avoid waiting for additional buffered data to form a full segment.

This is important in interactive communications like Telnet or SSH, where the delay in transmission would degrade the user experience.

The command in question:

wget 192.168.0.15 -q -S

wget is a command-line utility used to retrieve files via HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP.

-q (quiet mode): Suppresses output, except for errors.

-S: Displays the server response headers (even in quiet mode).

In this case, wget is being used to connect to the specified web server (192.168.0.15) and retrieve the HTTP response headers — such as the Server field (e.g., Apache, Nginx), HTTP status codes, and other metadata.

This is a classic example of banner grabbing — the process of capturing metadata (often from headers) to identify the software, version, or configuration of a service.

Incorrect Options:

A. Content enumeration would require directory brute-forcing tools like DirBuster or Gobuster.

C. DoS attacks require high volumes of traffic or specially crafted packets; wget with a single request does not perform flooding.

D. Downloading full site contents would involve options like -r (recursive) or --mirror, which are not used in this command.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From CEH v13 Guide:

R-U-Dead-Yet? (RUDY) is a DoS tool that targets web applications by sending slow HTTP POST requests with large Content-Length headers. This consumes server resources, leading to a denial of service.

CEH v13 Reference:

Module 9: Denial-of-Service – DoS Tools

“R-U-Dead-Yet? (RUDY) sends long-form POST requests to consume server-side sessions and exhaust resources without completing the transaction.”
