Distributed reflection denial of service attack: A critical review

Distributed Denial of Service Attacks: A Review

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...

WDA: A Web farm Distributed Denial Of Service attack attenuator

Distributed Denial Of Service (DDoS) attacks are familiar threats to Internet users for more than ten years. Such attacks are carried out by a “Bot net”, an army of zombie hosts spread around the Internet, that overwhelm the bandwidth toward their victim Web server, by sending traffic upon command. This paper introduces WDA, a novel architecture to attenuate the DDoS attacker’s bandwidth. WDA i...

Distributed Denial of Service Defense Attack Tradeoff Analysis (DDOS-DATA)

Inferring distributed reflection denial of service attacks from darknet

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 Attack Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as a significant source for the study and analysis of data from the environment. These networks are deployed in harsh and inaccessible environments with the purpose of monitoring their respective surroundings, and generating observed readings, for delivery to a centralised entity, for further data analysis. Sensor nodes are tiny devices with limited availab...
