- A Survey on Solutions to Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
- Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack is a large-scale, coordinated attack on the availability of services of a victim system or network resource, launched indirectly through many compromised computers on the Internet. Researchers have come up with more and more specific solutions to the DDoS problem. However, existing DDoS attack...

- A Survey of Bots Used for Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
- Off late one has seen the arrival of Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS open-source bot-based attack tools facilitating easy code enhancement, and so resulting in attack tools becoming more powerful. Developing new techniques for detecting and responding to the latest DDoS attacks often entails using attack traces to determine attack signatures and...

- Blue Security attack linked to blog crashes
- DDOS not redirected, secondary attackBlue Security did not redirect their traffic in response to the initial DDOS. They redirected after their IP addresses were blackholed. Once they were blackholed the initial DDOS attack was called off by the attacker. After the attacker found Blue Security was up again at their...

- What You Need to Know About Botnets!
- A bot, short for robot, is an automated software program that can execute certain commands. A botnet, short for robot network, is an aggregation of computers compromised by bots that are connected to a central "controller." These botnet controllers are often controlled from chat rooms. Botnet controllers can be linked...

- DDoS Threatens Financial Institutions - Get Prepared!
- Hackers that know how to create spam machines or spyware can generate DDoS attacks. In addition, a DDoS attack is generated with the help of many potentially hundreds of thousands unsuspecting zombie machines and it is not possible to stop the DDoS or protect your network with traditional security measures....

- The Zombie Roundup: Understanding, Detecting, and Disrupting Botnets
- Global Internet threats are undergoing a profound transformation from attacks designed solely to disable infrastructure to those that also target people and organizations. Behind these new attacks is a large pool of compromised hosts sitting in homes, schools, businesses, and governments around the world. These systems are infected with a...

- Network Topology Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
- Distributed Denial of Service DDOS attacks have emerged as a prevalent way to shut an organization off from the internet and has resulted in financial losses to the same. In the case of DDOS attack, an adversary attempts to disconnect network elements by disabling the communication links or nodes. The...

- A Divide-and-Conquer Strategy for Thwarting Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
- Attack mitigation schemes actively throttle attack traffic generated in Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS attacks. This paper presents Attack Diagnosis AD, a novel attack mitigation scheme that adopts a divide-and-conquer strategy. AD combines the concepts of Pushback and packet marking, and its architecture is in line with the ideal DDoS attack countermeasure...

- DIADEM Firewall: Web Server Overload Attack Detection and Response
- High-profile web servers often become the victim of web server overload Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS attacks. Motivations of such attacks range from technical challenge (e.g. script kiddies) to financial profit (e.g. blackmailing the web server's owner). This paper presents the DIADEM Firewall architecture that allows an ISP to protect its customers...

- Anti-DDoS Virtualized Operating System
- It is easier to detect a DDoS attack near the victim but it is of little use to do so. Many researchers believe that it would be best to handle DDoS attacks closer to the computers which host these attacks and have propounded various strategies for packet filtering at edge-routers....

- Botnets: The New Threat Landscape
- A botnet is an army of compromised machines, also known as "Zombies," that are under the command and control of a single "Botmaster." The rise of consumer broadband has greatly increased the power of botnets to launch crippling Denial of Service DoS attacks on servers, infect millions of computers with...

- Use honeypots to track and mitigate botnets
- Bots pose a serious threat to both individual and corporate environments. They are often used for DDoS attacks, to send spam, and as spyware to steal sensitive information from the victim's machine. In this chapter download from Virtual HoneyPots: From Botnet Tracking to Intrusion Detection, learn how to...

- Design and Development of Proactive Models for Mitigating Denial-of-Service and Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
- Denial-of-Service DoS attacks, orchestrated by a single host or multiple hosts in a coordinated manner, have become an increasingly frequent disturbance in today's Internet. Generally, attackers launch Distributed Denial-of-Service DDoS attacks by directing a massive number of attack sources to send useless traffic to the victim. The victim's services are...
