The threat of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack continues to wreak havoc in these cloud i...

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks accounted for more losses than Internet financial fraud and viruses combined (CSI/FBI 2003). The Internet has been exposed as being particularly vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks. This has stimulated research into DDoS and the consequent development of many techniques which aim to control them. This paper aim...

The wireless adhoc networks are highly vulnerable to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks because of its unique characteristics such as open network architecture and shared wireless medium. A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its legitimate users. The denial of service (DOS...

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack is a type of Internet attack that disrupts the normal function of the targeted computer network (server). This kind of attacks attempts to make target host resource unavailable to its legal users. Several efforts had made in detection and computation of the DDOS attacks over network, where IDS (Intrusion detection systems) are unable to isolate the ...

This work proposes a novel approach to infer and characterize Internet-scale DNS Distributed Reflection Denial of Service (DRDoS) attacks by leveraging the darknet space. Complementary to the pioneer work on inferring Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) activities using darknet, this work shows that we can extract DDoS activities without relying on backscattered analysis. The aim of this work ...

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of the greatest threats to connectivity, continuity, and availability of the Internet. In this paper, two typical types of DDoS attacks, high-rate (Flood) and low-rate (Shrew), are studied on their generation principles, mechanism utilizations, behaviors, signatures, and attack performances. Experiment results show that: (I) high-rate DDoS send...

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions.WSN is a fluorishing network that has numerous applications and could be used in diverse scenarios. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is an attack where a number of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causin...
