Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are a form of attack that seeks to
make a network resource unavailable due to overloading the resource
or machine with an overwhelming number of packets, thereby crashing
or severely slowing the performance of the resource. Distributed
Denial of Service (DDoS) is a large scale DoS attack which is
distributed in the Internet. Every computer which has access to the
Internet can behave as an attacker. Typically bandwidth depletion
can be categorized as either a flood or an amplification attack.
Flood attacks can be done by generating ICMP packets or UDP packets
in which it can utilize stationary or random variable ports. Smurf
and Fraggle attacks are used for amplification attacks. DDoS Smurf
attacks are an example of an amplification attack where the
attacker sends packets to a network amplifier with the return
address spoofed to the victim's IP address. This book presents new
research and methodologies along with a proposed algorithm for
prevention of DoS attacks that has been written based on
cryptographic concepts such as birthday attacks to estimate the
rate of attacks generated and passed along the routers.
Consequently, attackers would be identified and prohibited from
sending spam traffic to the server which can cause DDoS attacks.
Due to the prevalence of DoS attacks, there has been a lot of
research conducted on how to detect them and prevent them. The
authors of this short format title provide their research results
on providing an effective solution to DoS attacks, including
introduction of the new algorithm that can be implemented in order
to deny DoS attacks.
