Design and Development of Proactive Models for Mitigating Denial-of-Service and Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Papers Generally, attackers launch Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks by directing a massive number of attack sources to send useless traffic to the victim. Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, orchestrated by a single host or multiple hosts in a...

TRACK: A Novel Approach for Defending Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Papers This paper presents a novel countermeasure against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks that they call the rouTer poRt mArking and paCKet filtering (TRACK), which includes the functions of both IP traceback and packet filtering.

Analyzing Interaction Between Distributed Denial of Service Attacks and Mitigation Technologies
White Papers DDOS-DATA's goal is to analyze Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks and mitigation technologies to develop an understanding of how well mitigation technologies perform and how they can be combined to limit the potential attack space.

Proactively Defeating Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
White Papers A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an explicit attempt to interrupt an online service by generating a high volume of malicious traffic. These attacks consume all available network resources, thus rendering legitimate users unable to...

Defending Government Network Infrastructure Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
White Papers Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are a class of network security threat whereby one or more attackers target network resources and servers to deny service to legitimate users. Increasingly, such attacks come from multiple, physically and network...

Preventing Distributed Denial of Service Attacks by Perturbing TCP Traffic
White Papers This paper discusses a method for preventing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that use spoofed source IP addresses by monitoring TCP traffic. The method requires dropping TCP packets from client to server and monitoring the effect of...

Detecting and Reacting Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
White Papers Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (DDoS) are becoming a big threat to the Internet. It is judicious to note that no computer network is immune from intrusions in general and distributed denial of service attacks in particular.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: Latest Motivations and Methods
White Papers A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack aims to intentionally deprive legitimate users of a resource (or service) provided by a system, typically by overloading that system with a flood of data packets from multiple sources.

Proving Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in the Internet
White Papers This paper presents the problem of proving a distributed denial of service attack in the Internet. Their solution incurs very less overhead in the router's critical path and operates in the presence of legacy routers.

Mitigating Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Multiparty Applications in the Presence of Clock Drifts
White Papers A weak point in network-based applications is that they commonly open some known communication port(s), making themselves targets for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Considering adversaries that can eavesdrop and launch directed DoS attacks to the...

A New IP Traceback System Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
White Papers On most Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, packets with spoofed source addresses are employed in order to disguise the true origin of the attacker. To date, the proposed traceback systems require either large amounts of storage space on router...

DDoS Protection Service: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
White Papers Since the early days of the Internet, "Denial-of-service" (DoS) attacks have been a fact of life. The goal of these attacks is to restrict on a grand scale the availability of certain online systems and/or services or to deny service completely.
