DDoS Simulation and Hybrid DDoS Defense Mechanism

Simulation of Internet DDoS Attacks and Defense

The paper considers the software simulation tool DDoSSim which has been developed for comprehensive investigation of Internet DDoS attacks and defense mechanisms. This tool can be characterized by three main peculiarities: agent-oriented approach to simulation, packet-based imitation of network security processes, and open library of different DDoS attacks and defense mechanisms. DDoSSim allows...

A moving target DDoS defense mechanism

In this paper, we introduce a moving target defense mechanism that defends authenticated clients against Internet service DDoS attacks. Our mechanism employs a group of dynamic, hidden proxies to relay traffic between authenticated clients and servers. By continuously replacing attacked proxies with backup proxies and reassigning (shuffling) the attacked clients onto the new proxies, innocent c...

A Study of DDOS Attacks, Tools and DDOS Defense Mechanisms

This paper proposes a study of distributed denial-of service attacks and a study of the defense mechanism that strive to counter these attacks. The attack illustrate do using both known and potential attack mechanisms along with this classification we discuss important feature .So each attack category that in turn define the challenge involved in combating these threats. Distributed Denial of S...

A Taxonomy of DDoS Attacks and DDoS Defense Mechanisms

This paper proposes a taxonomy of distributed denial-ofservice attacks and a taxonomy of the defense mechanisms that strive to counter these attacks. The attack taxonomy is illustrated using both known and potential attack mechanisms. Along with this classification we discuss important features of each attack category that in turn define the challenges involved in combating these threats. The d...
