alert appeared for DDoS attack then I used wire shark it shows multiple sync packets from the trusted IP/ physical address. I want to confirm that how I consider that it is a sync flood attack?

Alert from what?

I would start with what is on DDOS. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/d.... Afterwards, think about how to look for the behavior using Wireshark.
