BUT, 9-6-6 only forbids attacking a served ball while "the ball is completely above the height of the net".
So an "attack" of a served ball below or partially below the height of the net is an attack but not illegal.
Front row or back row it matters not.

Homer is correct - but I would add that the legality of an attack doesn't become an issue until the attacked ball breaks the plane of the net.
