Distributed Denial of Service Attacks COMPROMISING NETWORKS AND ORGANISATIONS

چکیده
Executive Summary Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a major cause of disruption for networks and the distributed applications they host. With enhancements of routers and intermediate network devices and appliances, the level of attention given to DDoS attacks has reduced over time, as they have been viewed as less of a security issue. These traditional volumetric attacks were often mitigated upstream, however low and slow DDoS attacks are still a significant issue and bypass routers and intermediate network devices causing an application-layer attack which overloads a service or database with application calls. DDoS attacks against the application layer may be both more subtle and potentially more damaging.
