Denial of Service Attack Simulation Based-on CASL
Kuo Zhao, Kexin Yang, Meng Zhang, Jinling Wang, Liang Hu · 2007
Since the first denial of service (DoS) attack appears, DoS attacks cause significant financial damage every year. The majority researchers focus on detection and respond mechanism of DoS, whereas limited progress has been made in the details of DoS attacks. In this paper, we introduce custom audit scripting language (CASL) applied to write simulation program for DoS attacks. Then we take a deep research in the methodology of DoS attacks and simulate two typical DoS attacks in CASL. Additionally, recent trends of DoS attacks and problems associated with defending against DoS attacks are also discussed. In short, our simulation attack programs can help examine the nature of DoS attacks and find the corresponding countermeasures.
