Attack Obfuscation" is not an attack itself. However, it is an attack enabler. "Attack Obfuscation" describes all techniques to hide the attack from the components designed to detect the attack. A typical example is "Attack Obfuscation by Cryptography". Usually when trying to execute DOS attacks such as Coercive Parsing the attack is not successful when strict schema validation is performed. However, when the Coercive Parsing attack payload is hidden by encryption the payload gets executed since schema validation usually is always performed prior to decryption.
