Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science
- IT-Security, grade: Merit, The Open University, course: MSc
Advanced Networking, language: English, abstract: This research
report investigated the potential risks from DoS (Denial of
Service) attacks faced by SMEs (Small to Medium-sized Enterprises)
that have an online presence. From the examination of case studies,
reports, global surveys, and discussions with IT professionals this
report evaluates which DoS attacks are the most prolific, and which
DoS threats organisations need to secure against. From the results
of the investigation it can be seen that the potential risk of
becoming the target of a DoS attack continues to pose a significant
threat to an organisation regardless of the size. It was evident
from the results of the initial research that further investigation
was required to evaluate which DoS threat were of most concern to
SMEs (Small to Medium sized Enterprises). Through practical
experimentation in a controlled network laboratory environment, a
number of DoS attacks that are of current concern to SMEs were
investigated, the main purpose of this investigation was to
evaluate appropriate mitigation strategies to secure against the
identified DoS attacks. This report concludes by highlighting that
SMEs may be susceptible to well-known DoS attacks when deploying
network hardware in default configuration, and by identifying the
appropriate DoS mitigation options available to network and
security administrators associated with SMEs. The conclusion also
shows how these DoS mitigation options can be practically applied
to the type of network hardware typically deployed in a SME
environment.
