WDA: A Web farm Distributed Denial Of Service attack attenuator

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)

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...

Defeating distributed denial-of-service attack with deterministic bit marking

Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a serious threat in Internet. We propose a bit marking concept to identify and drop the DDoS attack packets. Bit marking is a variation of the packet marking technique that modifies packet headers at each router. However instead of storing the router information in the packets, bit marking alters one or more bits in the marking field. The bit marking process d...

Mitigating Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack with Deterministic Bit Marking

The Distributed Denial-of-Service attack is a serious threat in Internet and an effective method is needed for distinguishing the attack traffic from the legitimate traffic. We propose the concept of bit marking to identify and drop the attack packets. Bit marking is a variation of packet marking technique that modifies the packet header at each router. However bit marking differs from packet m...
