A Taxonomy of DDoS Attacks and DDoS Defense Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 defense system taxonomy is illustrated using only the currently known approaches. The goal of the paper is to impose some order into the multitude of existing attack and defense mechanisms that would lead to a better understanding of challenges in the distributed denial-of-service field.
