Mitigating Denial of Service Attacks in Computer Networks
White Papers This dissertation studies how to defend against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in computer networks. As it is not possible to prevent these attacks, one must concentrate on mitigating them. A comprehensive approach for mitigating DoS attacks is...

Palm Pilot open to denial of service attack
News A hotsync DoS (Denial of Service) attack is not as sexy as breaking into networks via printers, but it still deserves some attention. A flaw in the Palm Pilot Hotsync Manager application could open the machine to remote attacks and may even crash...

Denial of Service and Distributed Denial of Service Attack: Detection and Countermeasures
White Papers Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are specific attacks that attempt to prevent legitimate users from accessing networks, servers, services or other resources. The impacts of DoS attacks are causing greater...

Denial of service attacks are legal 'grey area'
Talkback I have received spam many times over the years and once from a so-called friend; you know DoS makes me nervous because you never know if you sue it the right way. But CMA is hard to deal with because when the term(CMA, DoS) is coined the fact...

Denial-of-Service & Distributed Denial-of-Service on the Internet
White Papers Denial-of-Service and Distributed Denial-of-Service is costing the economy world-wide billions of dollars. A Denial-of-Service attack is a very serious threat to the infrastructure of the Internet, as well as its users.

Susceptibility of Wireless Devices to Denial of Service Attacks
White Papers DoS is a real threat for wireless technologies and could become a show-stopper in some critical applications. In future standards more attention must be paid to DoS issues. Security should be firmly defined in standards and as little as possible...

An Adaptive Sampling Algorithm With Applications to Denial-of-Service Attack Detection
White Papers There is an emerging need for the traffic processing capability of network security mechanisms, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), to match the high throughput of today's high-bandwidth networks.

Improved Detection System of Denial of Service Attack
White Papers A problem with current intrusion detection systems is that they have many false positive and false negative events. Most of the existing Intrusion detection systems implemented nowadays depend on rule-based expert systems where new attacks are not...

Design and Development of Proactive Models for Mitigating Denial-of-Service and Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Papers 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...

Analysis of a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack
White Papers DDoS is a growing problem in cyber security. One DDoS defense technique actively studied by researchers is on-line packet attribute analysis followed by selective packet filtering. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique, they have...

Roaming Honeypots for Mitigating Service-Level Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Papers A (continuously changing) subset of the servers is active and providing service, while the rest of the server pool is idle and acting as honeypots. The paper utilizes the roaming honeypots scheme to mitigate the effects of service-level DoS attacks...
